Well after 6 days on a bike it was time for a rest. Also a time for spoiling myself, a two day craving for a snickers needed to be satisfied. I am not sure why i wanted one, but I did. I had a sleep in and a long breakfast which was good, it lasted about two hours with some reading. Then it was time to go and see some of the sites that I had not seen yet, mainly being the huge white Buddha statue, which was pretty amazing.  Hiring a bicycle seemed the way to go, get the legs moving again but also allow me to cover the distance i needed to. Half way there, I made a decision to taste as much street food as i could that afternoon before the bus.

My favourite thing were like rice hash browns, then they cut them down the middle and added some mince stuff which was great. After only getting one I followed that with three more. Then tasting various fruit that we don’t get in Australia, and some things that were like curry puffs but not curry. The Buddha and the main markets were pretty impressive. There was one weird thing was that there were gum trees all around this statue, nothing like home hey! The bus to Hoi An was great, leaving at 7pm and arriving at 6:30am I managed to get four seats which is a great way to travel, means you can really sleep.
