This morning at 0530 we took a local bus from the Farm Stay near Phong Nha to Hoi An about 350 km or 210 miles.  The local bus was a 20 seat van where they squeeze 30.  The good, we were the first on the bus and last to get off.  The bad, 30 passengers with only 20 seats.  The 20 passenger van took us to Hue where we caught another city bus.  The instant our bags were off loaded from the van the locals took our bags and loaded them on the bus even before we decided that was going to be the transport to Hoi An.

Once arriving at the Hoi An bus terminal, the only mode of transportation to the hotel (about 10km) was by motorbike as a passenger.  We needed 3 motor bikes where the drivers tied our 4 suitcases to the back of one of the bikes.  We mounted the back of the other two and off we were.  We arrived at the hotel with luggage in tact.  Assembled the bikes and went on a tour of the city.  After the tour folks at the front desk of the hotel took turns riding the Bike Fridays.

Tomorrow tour Hoi An…….
