BBC Update # 3 Hoi An, Vietnam

An update from the BBC team in Hoi An, central Vietnam
Hey all
So far the trip has been going great. We have just recently traveled from the DMZ to Hue and then on to Hio An.
The DMZ was a good eye opener for all the boys who were shown serveral key icons that played a big part in the Vietnam war. Some of the sights included The Rock Pile which was an American Base on top of a pile of rock with sharp cliffs on either side, so the only way up was by helicopter. Other interesting sights consisted of the Dak Ron Bridge and Highway 9, these were a major part of the war that were used to supply food, shelters and weaponry to South. Also the Vinh Moc tunnels caught the eye of most boys attention with the tight spaces that used to home families of 5 or more.
Once we viewed most of the DMZ for the day we had a 2 hour bus ride on to Hue, where we stayed in a quiet little hotel. Next day we booked a tour to see the 3 main temples and Pagodas that Hue had to offer. The first was the Buddhist pagoda which was made famous by a protest by a buddhist monk burning himself in the the street out side the temple. The second was the Imperial Citadel where Vietnams 12 Kings ruled their empire. The third and most exciting was the Minhmang Kings tomb which was the most exquisite tomb of all with of tiled rooms and painted roofs by the artists feet.
Next day took a bus ride through the gorgeous Marble mountians to Hoi An, where we got off to find one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in so far in the trip and still be under budget. Once we got their we ate some lunch and headed straight for the main part of town where the we got straight into picking out a suit shop. We started to find that Hoi An was alot hotter than we had thought, but the next morning there was a break in the heat and while we were eating breakfast the heavens opened and down came the rain.
Everyone is in great health and is loving the food and culture. Everyone says hello to the family and friends back home.
