Loreto Team A Update - From Hoi An

This email was also received lunch time Saturday 15th January:
hello from loreto team a!

here is just a quick update from mel's last email:

on the 12th of january loreto team a boarded an overnight train from Hanoi to Danang which would then lead us to Hoi An. Everyone was excited about arriving for many different reasons: sunshine, warmth, shopping, different food and beaches!!!!

The train ride took around 16 hours in total but time passed quickly because of the spectacular sights which were seen along the way. however for some people a.k.a Miss Scott and Mr Abarbanel time passed a lottle slower due to a friendly mouse paying a visit to their cabin causing Miss Scott to be up all night paranoid about the mouse nibbling at her face!

Once the train arrive in Hoi An it was then time to have lunch and then for everyone to pay a visit to local tailors to order their clothes to be made...some girls ordered dresses, pants, blazers and even shoes!

The evening was spent at a restaurant popular to all the girls because it served pizza, pasta and burgers as well as local specialities. Everyone decided to go western after eating vietnamese for 2 weeks straight!

The next day (14th) was spent once again shopping and visiting tailors for fittings however a visit to the market was also enjoyed as well as a traditional vietnamese cooking course in the evening which was enjoyed by the whole group!

Today (15th) the team plans to take a bike ride to the beach and a tip to the spa for manicures, pedicures, facials and massages is also going to be enjoyed by all today :)
