Hoi An: Red Bridge Cooking School

This morning was fab!  We signed up for a cooking class at the Red Bridge Cooking School and it did not disappoint.  After meeting at a local restaurant, we set out for a walk through the local market in groups of 6.  We were lucky to get the head chef as our guide.  After the tour, we hopped on a boat that took us to the restaurant where the classes are held.  There were 19 of us from all ends of the globe and together we learned to make spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, eggplant in clay pot and yes...rice paper.  (So cool!) After the class, we sat outdoors, sheltered from the rain and enjoyed the fruits of our labor.  Yummy! (oops...can't say that in Vietnam... it means "horny")

Hoi An: White Marble Wine Bar/ Bamboo Buddha

We reached the ancient town of Hoi An. It was well preserved and so different than the previous cities we visited, with much less motor bike traffic.   Just enough time for cocktails and dinner at Bamboo Buddha and all walking distance from our hotel.
