HoiAn Day 3: Final fittings & wanderings

A relaxed morning and breakfast found ourselves wandering around the old town looking at shops and some souvenirs. We went back to the book store and I got some art posters. We then wandered and looked at the Japanese covered bridge (requires an old town ticket) then wandered by the river, declining the quieter harassment of the local hawkers. We had lunch by the river made in front of us by an old Vietnamese woman, who seemed to appreciate the small gesture of politeness (if a person is older than you, you hand the money over with both hands) and saying thank you in Vietnamese. 

We continued our wanderings and found some pottery and some other small pieces before our final fittings. We had both had some minor alterations to a few of our pieces. Mine were all fine and she even agreed to have the collar on the vest pressed idea so it didn't gape. We agreed to come back at 5 to pick them all up. After that we headed to the shoe shop to take a look at the final products and we were both happy with the final results. You'll get one photo from me

I'm looking forward to breaking these in properly. All of the shoes are leather which for me means they will last at least 8yrs. After picking up all of our orders we decided to head out and try one of the local specialties call white rose (dumplings) it was nice but nothing amazing. We then wandered the markets while nicola looked for the little things to take home
