    Can Tho - Cai Rang floating market

    February 28, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    This morning we were up by 5am to visit the nearby floating markets. We were in a small, wobbly but adequate boat that could be propelled by motor or by rowing - you can see our boat in the sunrise photo here. On the way to the market, we stopped at a floating petrol station to fill up! We went first to Cai Rang floating market, the largest one in Vietnam. There we had a cup of tea, some noodle soup and fresh fruits, all bought from boat "stalls". Some of the selling boats at this market were quite big and each of them has a long bamboo pole at the front with some samples of the produce they were selling - so we saw the pineapple boat, turnip boat, tomato boat, onion boat, watermelon boat, mango boat and dried fish boat, amongst others. It was fascinating to see and quite colourful too. Worth getting up so early for!Read more
