Day 5 - Good Bye Hoi An & It's Back to Da Nang

After two nights at Long Life Hotel we have to bade goodbye to Hoi An, the water has entered into the hotel at the reception. Our boat came right into the reception lobby and took us out off the flood. 
The roads of Hoi An have turned into little Venice 
At last we were out of the flood and a car was waiting for us to take us back to Da Nang, we simply could not cycle back to Da Nang as the rain was pretty heavy.
Pushing our bicycles to the awaiting car.
The car that belongs to Long Life Hotel and our next destination was Con Market they called it Cho Con.
The name sounds frightening "Con" and my thought was to stay away from buying anything from here especially when there is a language barrier. But I guess it wasn't the case. Con Market is the largest wholesale market in the central of Vietnam selling a variety of stuffs.
Instead of going straight to Con Market we visited a shopping mall that houses our Malaysian "Parkson" for a brief shelter and light refreshment.
Then we visited Con Market looking for some interesting local food.
Our bikes tucked at this empty corner while we searched for food and they were not blocking anybody.
I was happy to see this section of the market I pick a stall selling Vietnamese spring rolls with skewered meat (that look like satay).
Next to the spring roll stall is this lovely lady selling beef noodle and Jo enjoyed her bowl of beef noodle.
The yummy beef noodle at Con Market Food Court.
Dinner was at Lotte Mart where we rode from the villa. A a hot plate of squids and porridge at the food court. Nothing fancy but good enough for a decent meal. We were looking forward for the destination to Hue and see you tomorrow.
