My Son Vietnam

My Son, situated about an hours drive inland fro Hoi An was the ancient capitol of the Champa Dynasty.  It is a large complex of religious brick built ancient ruins dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva.  Unfortunately most of the temples were obliterated by US carpet bombing during the Vietnam War, many of the bomb craters are still visible today.   We made the mistake of booking a day tour where all the buses and their respective guides arrive at the same time. Our guide was hilarious,  like a Vietnamese drill sergeant – we made the immediate decision to loose him and wonder round ourselves!  Top tip if you’re going to visit My Son, organise a driver and come  in the afternoon when all the buses are long gone!!
