The power went out this morning, forst at the hotel and again as we we getting fixed up with Vietnamese iced coffees at a local joint. After coffee we walked along the river to Madame Vy’s where we had signed up for a 5 hour  cooking class, The “holiday masterclass”.  What a great way to spend the day.

We started with a trip to the Hoi An market where we toured rhrough the market and learned about all the fish, meats, produce and herbs available there.

Our guide identified all the herbs and greens and explained how they were used.
