Mekong delta trip

The further south the more sugar in food.
Officially Colin is now old 😁
Guide told us Catholics eat dog a lot. He stopped eating dog when his got stolen! His wife said it was karma!
Stop 1 : the pagoda. It was fully operational even a "conference" going on. Very ornate dark and even though tourist somehow serene.
Stop 2 : Mekong River. Cock fighting is illegal but prominent.
Into a little boat for trip over the river.
Stopped for fruit and some local music.
The coconut candy factory ... Hand made and hand wrapped sweets from the coconut meat ... Various flavours.
Also a stop at a honey factory/shop ... Tried a Viet version of hot toddy minus the whiskey.
Then a short walk to catch little 4 person gondolas which took along a tributary to lunch at a fish restaurant. Baked fish on a stand rice prawns soup and a few unrecognisable things. Very nice.
Back over the river to the bus. Most of us got some shut eye on the 2hour journey home.
Interesting and knowledgeable guide who talked about life in Vietnam.Weiterlesen
