Day 8 - Hoi An | Main | Day 10 - Hue
Today we cooked.
quite literally we went to Miss Vy's cooking school, we were up early and walked back down from our hotel to the old part of town - we passed a gallery that is run by deaf people, which had some great photo's we purchased some of the works which were amazing and quite cheap. Then on to the Morning Glory Restaurant and Cooking School - Miss Vy arrived though she was a little un-sure why we would want a private lesson not being chef's, after settling that we did indeed want the private lesson we traipsed off to the markets, which was fantastic in that we got a very personal tour - how to tell a fresh egg, which herbs to buy and how to select a ripe chocolate pudding fruit.
Back to the restaurant with our purchases and we got into the cooking, which was fantastic and well worth the money - we cooked about 7 dishes and ate some as we went with the rest as a feast on completion of the class.
Then we walked back up to the hotel, stopping into the tailor to have a final fitting! Tomorrow we are off to Hue, based on the recommendation of other travellers I think we are going to skip My Son - it is fairly busy and we just don't have the time.
Relaxing at Cafe des Amis with a cold Larue - the only beer to drink in Hoi An and Danang
