We walked round the corner and sat in a cafe for breakfast, we all had pancakes, George and I had pineapple and Rob had banana, George wasn't feeling too good (he's fine now)so I finished his, no complaints from me. We then spent the rest of the morning at the tailors, it was recommended to us by an aussi who we met on our Ha Long Bay trip. It was really fun choosing styles and colours and getting measured up, the staff were also brilliant and spoke very good English. They would literally make anything for you, all you had to do was show a picture. Rob bought 2 suits but I pushed the boat out a little more; one casual suit jacket, a DJ and 2 shirts, all for £80. Savile Row has nothing on Hoi An, an estimated 300-500 tailoring shops, each of them probably not far off Savile Row quality craftsmanship either. My favourite choice was the lining, all I can say is you don't normally see many dinner jackets with yellow linings. Tomorrow we have to go back for a second fitting, because they are making them as I write. In the afternoon we wandered around the city and visited a couple of dive centres, I start my PADI open water course tomorrow. As the other 2 are already qualified they are going to the beach tomorrow but on Friday we are diving together.
