Zudem lernen Sie, wie man Banh Dap, einen berühmten, lokalen Reiscracker, zubereitet.

Nach der Verkostung der Reiscracker wird Ihre Vespa für ein Getränk an einem Café halten; dort können Sie sehen (und riechen!), wie die Einheimischen Kaffee rösten. Schließlich überqueren Sie den Thu-Bon-Fluss auf einer neu gebauten Brücke, nachdem Sie die ganze Zeit den erstaunlichen Ausblick auf die Landschaft von Hoi An genossen haben.
