We heard Hoi An, Vietnam was a cute little beach town. After spending 6 weeks overland in Thailand and Vietnam, a BEACH sounded amazing. We got a taste of the water spending a night in Halong Bay, but just one night doesn't cut it. A week on the beach was just what we needed!!!
The above picture was our first view of the beach upon walking out of the path from our hostel. We ate lunch and laid out here for a couple days. It was so peaceful.
You walk out of the back of the hostel and you are on the beach. It was amazing.
We are quite sad to be leaving today, but it is time. We are off to Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat, the oldest religious monument in the world!
Stay tuned! :)

Actually, that's all we did all week! Breakfast, beach, lunch at beach, lay out more, dinner at beach, sleep, repeat! This beach, An Bang, was glorious. Quaint enough to be able to relax, and quiet in parts. However there was a stretch of restaurants with TONS of chairs smashed together where you could hang out with more people, if you are in to that kind of thing. ;)
It's quite funny, the workers of the restaurants come out as you are walking down the beach and approach you to lay out on THEIR chairs. They will be lined up every 20 feet saying "Come lay out in my chairs, free chair just eat at my restaurant!" As they are saying that, you hear the next one 10 chairs down saying "My chair is better, it's better down here!" I mean really? These folks have to have a love/hate relationship with each other! So literally you just choose the chairs that are most appealing to you and sit. It's quite awesome, all you have to do is order a $1 beer or $3 spring rolls and you are set for the day!!!
If you are ever visiting An Bang Beach, I highly recommend staying at our hostel, Under The Coconut Tree. It was recommended to us and we were not let down. This hostel/hotel actually has individual rooms as well, if dorm/hostel style living doesn't suit you. However I highly recommend the dorms for single travelers or those traveling with friends. It's a GREAT way to meet other travelers, and at $6 a night that's an amazing way to save money and feel like you are back in college again. ;) There are lockers under the bed, and mosquito nets. It's quite perfect.
