There is just so much creativity, detail and beauty I couldn't limit my
Hobbiton post to just one blog. I easily took 400 photos over the course of the 2.5 hour tour!

Our guide asked for a volunteer to recreate a famous scene from The Hobbit unexpected adventure - seen below and Bosco was choosen for the star role. Who do you think did it better? Bosco did it in one take - no rehersals!
It was a fun day with a good group of friends. So many photos, indulge me in showing a few more!
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!
I had dubbed this the Fun Tour of Vietnam! We could have gone to all the historic war memorials and museums, and I totally respect and am grateful to All those who gave so much. I just didn't want that, to be my only insight into Vietnam and it's lovely people. In the morning, we again explored more of the village and our room stay included a huge buffet breakfast. We checked out by 10:30 am and took the cable car back down by 11 am to meet our driver and head to our next stop.
