Pottery Village

20 January 2017
We decided to put an offer together for the biggest and more expensive house situated out of town. Waiting for a response from our agent Ha, was driving us crazy, so we decided to hop on the free bikes provided by our Homestay and go visit the nearby Pottery Village. It was a wonderful way to pass the time.

The big landmark is the Terracotta Village, which was situated in the center of the park. In true Vietnamese tourism fashion, it is extremely kitsch, with the front garden full of clay replicas of the architectural wonders of the world, everything from the Taj Mahal to the Colosseum in Rome. We have many more photos posted in our gallery.. but we don't want to spoil Thera and Barry's visit posting them all here. It is truly an attraction we will investigate again and it's near the fish market, but you have to go there early to buy the fresh catch of the day.. I mean really early. Like 3am!


On the way home we decided to take a chance at another roadside restaurant. It was definitely cleaner than our first roadside restaurant in the same area. To this day we have no idea what we ate there.

The Mi Quang served today was good (and we recognized the meat) but definitely not as good as the little spot Quyen took us too the other day.
