Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam. Day 2

After sleeping for a few hours, we got up at 5:40am, packed and went to eat breakfast at 6:00am.
We were picked up at 7:00am and drove to Ninh Kieu wharf for a boat trip to visit Cai Rang Floating Market. It is a wholesale market that sells produce picked up the same day. Small business are buying produce and then selling it on the small stalls on the streets or small shops. Some of these boats used as combinations of cargo for the products, have some primitive bed and kitchen. We were treated to a fresh pineapples that were picked up that morning.
Then we kept going into the small creeks called Rach Nho in which the Southern countryside countryside can be seen. Then we cruised back to Ninh Kieu Wharf.
