Ho Chi Min - MeKong Delta

Up early again, walked a little further afield for breakfast and then a coffee a few doors up before being collected for the Mekong tour.
Greeted by the 3 new Phillipino friends from last nights food tour. Only 10 of us again and we don’t go to the main touristy bit. We will see.

First stop was a brick works, one of hundreds along the river, using sand dredged from the river, then a boat ride along the river with a fresh coconut and fruit platter.

From the boat to bikes and we rode through the small villages and visited a number of small businesses. Coconut candy, chocolate, honey, tea all farmed and produced within the small area we visited. On we rode to a local family for lunch and then into a couple of Sanpans to be rowed back to the boat for the ride back to the bus.

We got back to Ho Chi Min at 6:30, I did 4 lefts and found a fabulous wonton soup for dinner on my way home. Ready to crash early and with no alarm to wake up to maybe I’ll sleep through the night!

I found a cheapo hotel to go to after I check out of here tomorrow. And with a loose plan, we’ll see where the day takes me!Read more
