We went to My Son which was a large temple complex built around a 1000 years ago. Similar to Angkor Wat but much smaller. Sadly like other things we have visited in Vietnam. It has been badly damaged by the recent military action. One of the main temples was so strong that they Americans couldn't destroy it with air raids and artillery. So their solution send in a helicopter sapper team. to blow it up. Sad to see so much destruction in such a pretty landscape.
We also meet some wildlife. These cheeky Lizard
Loads of Butterflies.
In the evening we went into the Town centre which is turned into a pedestrian only zone and light by hundreds of lanterns. So far Hoi an has been the nicest place to be in during the evening. Very pretty French colonial buildings and lamps reflected in the waters of Rivers.
What an amazing experience, it seems that you have seen so much beauty and contrast that nothing else can suprise you, and then you see Hoi An lit by lanterns. what a wonderful diverse continent. We are so pleased you are having such a good time, thankyou for sharing it with us.
