My Son Cham Ruins

We left Hoi An on our bikes for a nice 50km cycle out in the country (well...we got off the highway after the first 30km) and visited My Son cham ruins for the day, almost a mini Ankgor Wat. They were beautiful, and busy (the Vietenamese were still on holiday celebrating Tet, and making the most of it!)

The ruins were built somewhere between the 7-12th centuries

Cameron was almost fascinated by the lizards more than the ruins--we could post a collage of lizard pictures, but will spare you

And I didn't have to photoshop this! **reference to previous post in which Cameron mocks Meghan**

There aren't too many stories from this day. It was enjoyable biking, and enjoyable sightseeing. After the ruins, we biked to Danang, about 60 km north of Hoi An. It's Vietnam's 3rd biggest city, so says the Lonely Planet, and quite lovely. We had a nice dinner out, an even better dessert (who know who could find the freshest, yummiest chocolate donuts in Danang?!) and a walk along the river. The city was still pumping from Tet celebrations, so that was fun too.
