2 This is what you can look forward to in May» Saturday 5 May 2018: For those flying from South Africa, we meet mid-morning at OR Tambo International Airport for checkin.

3 Monday 7 May 2018: Hoi An is known for it s incredible tailors, and over the years we have found the best in town. For those interested in getting dresses, suits, casual wear and more tailored while in Vietnam we have arranged a private measuring and consultation session for our group this morning. You ll have your personal consultant assisting you, with an endless supply of fabrics and patterns to choose from but if you wish to bring your own inspiration or clothes you d like copied, then by all means do so. Mid-afternoon we reconvene for a cruise down the river to near the river mouth, passing a number of farms and a large fishing community along the way. The cruise is always a great vibe, and it s a great way to see some of the countryside. We turn and head back to cruise upriver, arriving in Hoi An as the lights start coming on with the sun setting behind the town. Always a beautiful sight! Tuesday 8 May 2018: This morning we head out of town for our first round of golf at the multi-award winning IMGmanaged Ba Na Hills Golf Course. In its first year of operation it bagged the Best New Course in the World 2016 title, and has since gone on to add several others to the awards cabinet. As the name suggests, it s nestled in the hills and is as dramatic as it is incredible to play. Be sure to pay special attention as you go round, as we return later in the week for an evening round of golf playing the back nine after sunset and under lights.

4 Wednesday 9 May 2018: After breakfast we hop on bicycles and head off to explore the region between town and the nearby Cua Dai beach. After an opportunity to have some drinks and swim in the East Vietnam / South China Sea, we climb in the saddle again and head through the houses and fields to arrive at a very special place The Field. Accessible only by bike and on foot (or small canoe), you are sheltered from the sound of motor vehicles and can sit alongside the river in peace & quiet. Together with their incredible chef, we have selected a small taste platter to help introduce you to the flavours of Vietnam and help you explore the local cuisine in a controlled manner. Once done, we head back to town for an afternoon and evening at leisure. The Golf Travel Company Established 1999 T: E: Info@GolfTravel.co.za 4 of 10
