With tons of packing, organizing, selling, cleaning and goodbying to do, yesterday we decided to skip town and head to Cham Island for one last day of fun in the sun before we are homeward bound. The Cham Island(s), in fact, are located just off the coast of Hoi An - a quick 90 minute boat ride. So, with a large group of friends, we set sail (or diesel motor actually) for some snorkeling and diving fun.
John and I opted to dive for the first time in fifteen years. After a quick refresher on the boat, it all came flooding back: jump in, breathe, sink, swim. It was beautiful underwater. We saw a coral cauliflower garden, lots of colorful fish and absolutely nothing dangerous (although we had been warned about the potential for aggressive trigger fish).
The kids snorkeled with the rest of the group, and we rejoined them four hours later on a pristine beach for lunch. Apparently they all had fun, and they were all excited to tell us about the amazing underwater sea life that they had seen. After a delicious lunch, the kids enjoyed lots of dock jumping while we waited for our return boat trip to Hoi An. It was a super final day in the summer sun of Vietnam...memories to keep us warm in just a few cold Vermont months.
