... Fascinating stuff, its almost like they are making giant pancakes that are cooked by a contraption that steams them, but only for a few seconds before they are dried and then shredded to the small noodles that we have seen on our plates often of late. <br><br>We continued on to the smaller Phong Dien floating market where the boats were smaller and lacking motors. The goods seemed to be much the same with an amazing array of ...

... to Cambodia we gave our lady a little tip 50,000 Vietname Dong which is $3...not much to us, but she was SO excited, she couldn't believe it and was waving the note showing all the other women, it was like she won the lottery. It was so sweet, it really made our day. It still brings a smile to our faces when we think about it. <br><br>The boat trip along the river into Cambodia was great. Just a modest (slow) boat with wooden ...

... The house is over 200 years old and has been in the same family all that time. The owner was lovely, she didn't have any children and i think she lived there by herself, just with photos of great great grandparents down to her parents burning incense everyday for them. So she was pleased to chat to us. We got a tour around her garden, ate more tropical fruit she pulled off the trees for us, and saw loads of her banzai trees. ('Look - Banzai, Look Banzai!!i').<br><br ...

... each one is selling. As it is mostly wholesale, as a tourist you tend to get left alone to soak up the atmosphere. We then traveled down a quiet tributary to be greeted by hoards of kids screaming "Hello, how are you" from the riverbank. At one point, two girls no more than four years old, <br>came running out of a house, screaming deliriously and waving balloons! <br>

... inlaid with mother of pearl. In the garden were grape-fruit, limes and jasmin trees and as we left we saw a little sign on a tree: 'Free Wifi'. You can even check your emails here in the Mekong Delta.<br> <br>Back on board we were given more cold fresh cotton hand towels (we were presented with 20 of these over the 2 and a half days!!) before a stop at a sweet makers, where we watched a man popping rice in a huge wok, like rice crispies ...

... nog niet laten!) naar Ho Chi Minh City toe. Een stad waar we al zijn gewaarschuwd zijn voor al het 'neps' wat er is. Van alles is er meer! Als iets goed loopt worden er gelijk meer geopend met dezelfde naam.... Ook weer opletten met het 'oplichten'. Maar we komen er vast wel uit. Morgen eerst lekker uitslapen op een zacht matras! Tja, ze kennen hier vooral harde matrassen omdat ze zelf natuurlijk gewend zijn om op de grond te slapen... Dus hoera voor het zachte matras van vannacht!

The sad thing about these boat was they were too large to get into the heart of the market that resulted in the odd boat coming out to them and all the Asian tourists leaning over trying to buy whatever that could! The second market we went to was the Phong Dien, this was definitely ...
