Hong On / Whale Island

Hong On / While Island is a small island on the Vietnamese coast. Linda found the island by looking for potentially interesting destinations using google maps. We took the night train from Hue to Tuy Hua and then travelled by car to Dam Mon. From there it was a 45 min ride with a boat to the island.

Hoi An

If you get the chance to visit Hoi An make sure you visit the surrounding too. The center is nice and picturesque sure.. but it is crammed with tourist and "posers". Rent a bike check out the surrounding rise field and/or take a ride to the beach. We traveled by car from Hue to Hoi An and therefore could also check out the Hai Van Pass, the beach at Lang Co and the Marble Mountain in Danang.
