Hoi An, Viet Nam

Greetings from Hoi An...Arrived Sunday about 1 pm.  The Green Apple Hotel is perfect and very comfortable.  Met Darwin for dinner at Ganash Indian Restaurant and all was yummy.  We walked around some and then had coffee. Actually there is not as much horn honking as expected but the locals are very friendly and helpful. Shopping galore...store after store after store...! Monday we went for a short but brisk walk...not sure I would do this alone as my sense of direction is poor. Breakfast, included with room fee, was better than expected.  Fresh fruit, home-made yogurt, granola, 3 types of juices, rolls, baquettes, eggs (served to order), etcetra!   After breakfast we were off to the dentist for exray’s for implants, check-up & cleaning for me. Scooter tour around, of course I was totally lost but the scenery was lovely....rice fields, bridges, wild sea front, lots of contruction everywhere. Had my 1st Bahn Mi sandwishes...had a veggie one which was very tasty.   Went and met Hoa (Flower) and she is very sweet.

Tuesday we were at the dental office at 8:30 am and had driver take us to Da Nang for blood work & CTCB scan.  Ms Minh was picked up and explained that hospital in Hoi An was charging to much for tests so that is why they chose to drive us and have the work completed in Da Nang.  Excellent driver and it is amazing how the traffic works here...go slow and watch everything everywhere.  After the testing they took us to lunch as we had not had any food.  Meanwhile Yogi has a so-so tummy which continued to get worse.  Back at Hoi An dental office we picked up medication and came back to our room.  Yogi slept and I watched Netflix...he was running hot and cold.   Glad to report that on Wednesday morning Yogi was feeling much better.  Off to the dentist again...LOL.  I had 2 implant posts done and Yogi had 1 implant post and 1 bone graft to prepare for 2nd implant post.  This is a lot of dental work and I feel lucky that I did not need the bone graft also!  Today, Thursday November 30th we had check ups for yesterdays work and schedule my next dental adventure of a root canal.  Going to sign off for now with a few photos of scooters here and hotel staff.
