... and the journey into Cambodia so it was just the two of us and Ouilid on a visit to a floating village and a fish farm. The village was set on the side of an island in the middle of the river with each house being attached to the land so that they could be winched in and out from the shore depending on the river levels. In one of the houses we saw a women making a scarf using a traditional wooden weaving machine. It seemed to be a lot of hard work as she used her feet to ...

... bridges linking these thousands of islands in the delta<br> <br> <br>The last Ferry took us to May Island where we rode to our home stay family. They have a Pomelo farm. &amp; we were welcomed with a plate of fresh pomelo &amp; passionfruit. I hate passionfruit at home but ate one here &amp; liked it. <br><br ...

... up a little map. The guys at the Tourist Info say that a bus to Can Tho should cost 55,000VND! They also suggest we catch a Mai Line bus and write all this down for us. Hm, so we walk back and say yo the woman, 55000VND for a ticket please! She laughs and drops the price right away. Argh, typical - even when they're caught scamming us they think its hilarious to try and charge us nearly 2.5 times the price. We ask if its a Ma Line bus, but she says no ...

... spit out crushed ice. It was then shoveled into plastic grocery bags, put onto a cart and dispersed to the numerous street vendors or stores throughout town. Kelly and I decided to stick to bottled water and beer from then on. <br><br>It was a very exciting day. We are back at the hotel where we are drinking some Vietnam wine.

... We got back at 11:45. The plan was to get a bike to Muniransyaram Pagoda, before getting the bus back to Saigon. But the driver got lost and I never made it. I caught the bus back tonight so I could get my visa fixed before popping off to Singapore on the 4th for the weekend.

... weren't so happy. Theferry ride was a quick 10 minutes and we started walking from the pier into whatwas now nighttime in a strange city. It felt like the neighborhood you get around the bus station. And no bathroom or food round though. One guy finally spoke up and let his displeasure be known. The guide immediately went into defensive mode. I felt really bad for himand his limited English madehimeven more frustrated. It was ...

Hey all! My Mekong River dalta part started as I was expecting... my traveling route changed... The final destination in Vetnam didn't- i'm still heading to Chau Doc. Agency that sold me my ticket as usual here told me one story, when i got on the bus story changed. But it's too late to regret. I'm moving forward to Mekong. The trip was not bad, going on the bus first, then got on ...

... the market was just fantastic.... <br><br>Boats everywhere, manically selling every fruit and veg you can think of. <br><br><br> For the next few hours we toured around - to get our huge boat to squeeze through all the market boats was a test of the driver to say the least! Nik took many pictures of the market as it was a truly brilliant part ...
