BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - Day 2
We were back exploring the City again today. It is a beautiful place, with nice wide streets which gives lots of green space. It reminds me of Philadelphia with lots of public art and distinct neighborhoods. First stop was an old theater that has been converted to a bookstore El Ateneo Grand Splendid. Next was the Obelisco and BA sign. Then we climbed up the rooftop lookout

I also fit in a private tango lesson!
To get to the final stop on our Vietnam FUN Tour in Hue, we had our driver take us on the scenic route called the Hai Van Pass. This 3 hour drive took us back through Da Nang and then into mountains and along coast for what is generally a very scenic route. Unfortunately for us, it was mainly covered in clouds and fog.
Next stop on the VIETNAM FUN TOUR is HOI'AN - The City of Laterns! I had arranged a private car to take us between all the major locations and towns for the 5 days we were touring the interior. He delivered us to Hoi'An in just about an hour from Ba Na Hills . Here we stayed 2 nights and had lots of relaxing time built in. Again the heat was oppressive! The driver recommended below tailor to me as I mentioned I might want to have a dress custom made as that is another thing the town is known for with 24 hour turn around.
Coconut Boat Tour sounds perfect to keep the Fun rolling! The hotel offered a tour, with pick up and return, so easy peasy!
