I don't know why but somehow Tom kept mentioning the name Hoi An to me for the entire time we were travelling through northern Vietnam. When Tom found out that this city is famous for its delicious food - there was no question - we will go to Hoi An and stay there for some time.
Arriving by motorbike, we directly got a climbs of the old town in the evening - beautiful with lanterns everywhere.
However, Hoi An was not the place we felt at home at. Yes, it had a beach and the beach was nice but it was too cold. And yes, the old town is beautiful but it is full of tourists which destroyed the beauty a bit. Of course we are also tourists and we also like touristy places but when it's too much, it's too much. The atmosphere was just not right. Tom was not that satisfied with the food (it was not bad but not as good as expected!). So instead of staying here for some time - we decided to move on. Instead of taking a bus - we rented a motorbike for 2 weeks!
We were missing the adventurous feeling as south east Asia was making is everything so easy. We knew that it's not allowed for tourists to ride a motorbike without a license but we did it anyways - feeling as adventurous as ever!
