My natural body clock is such a pain - am really tired but cannot sleep past 8am, even if I try. Spent an hour wandering through Hoi An, watching people shitting into the river, fishing, preparing their stands, eating breakfast at the roadside on tiny little stools, all in all just getting ready for another day. Was quite peaceful actually, so peaceful that I ended up wandering blindly, dreaming with my eyes open and promptly got lost. Then again Hoi An isn't really that big a town, it's more of a village, so you eventually just turn a corner and pass a landmark that you "seem to think that you slightly remember"... and voila, you're in front of your hotel.
Although we did have quite an interesting trek last night: this English guy led us round in circles in the pouring rain (tropical rain, mind you) for about half an hour before finally finding what proved to be a marvellous restaurant - and only just around the corner from our hotel. Could have shaken him! Ah well, but I'm on holiday... but I learnt one lesson: never let a drunk lead, especially if he has no sense of direction!
