... on the Mississippi! We<br>had such a great time waving to everyone &#8211; and everyone waved back<br>smiling at the crazies on top of the boat. And we actually got a<br>breeze along with some sun (as you can tell from the photos). It was<br>thrilling &#8211; and a great way to be introduced to Cambodia. Along<br>the river we could see tons of rice paddies, very ornate pagodas, and<br>bamboo-thatched houses on stilts &#8211; all leaving an impression that<br>we will never forget.<br>

... stuff went over in a few seconds! <br><br>Again caught in an afternoon storm - this one was really heavy &amp; we got so wet. <br> <br><br>Back to our big white van &amp; back to HCMC, where we had a shower at their office. We had the best 3 days &amp; were completely exhausted but happy.<br><br> We grabbed ...

... help us check into our hostel. It came as no surprise when thirty seconds after getting into our hostel room we had a knock on the door and the same &#8220;friendly&#8221; local was trying to sell us a tour of the floating market at double the going rate! We politely declined her generous offer but she didn't seem to want to take no for an answer. After a short and honest exchange of opinions she finally accepted we ...

... state collegate per mezzo di grandi ponti, quello tra Vinh Long e Can Tho e' in costruzione. Nel tragitto sul Mekong, venditori ambulanti si agrappano ai finestrini del pulman, nella speranza di vendere pannocchie cotte, frutta e bevande. Scesi dal traghetto, arriviamo qu8asi subito alla stazione dei bus di Can Tho. Ormai siamo diventati esperti frequentatori di locali tipici molto affollati con piatti molto vari. In questi posti, si mangia ...

... they were selling. It was buzzing and great thing to see. After about an hour at the market we were taken on a long boat ride around the estuaries and mangroves and stopped of at an orchard. It wasnt much of an orchard but it was pretty cool when the auld dude made a rabbit out of some flower bud. Oh to keep the tourists happy.<br><br>That night we caught a fairly priced minibus to Chau Doc. The border town with Cambodia cause tomorrow we leave Vietnam.<br>

... become a recluse... or maybe a famous author or artist! The island was lovely... simple and friendly. After our ride we took a large ferry to VinhLong. We cycled along a road to the outskirts of CanTho and got rained on... it was very refreshing! We stopped just outside CanTho for a great lunch (fish, wontons, pork ribs, noodles/veggies, rice, etc.). After travelling by bus into CanTho we settled into our hotel and had a bit of time to look ...

... to a landing stage where we were taken 10k out of town on a small waterway to stay in bungalows next to the water. We were immediately invited in to help make and cook some sweet potato and tofu spring rolls, and then were presented with a lovely spread of food. One thing we have never tried before was making our own fresh spring rolls - laying rice paper on the palm of the hand, adding lettuce, mint, rice vermicelli ...

... great stuff (dont know if any will make it home). These boats were long, seating approximately 20 people. Eventually arrived in Chau Doc (on banks of Bassac River), which is on the Cambodian/Vietnam border. I think everyone on the bus was a bit culture shocked. Vietnam is a very poor country but this was a challenge. A few wanted to cut and run on the first day rather than see out ...

We arrived at the airport nice and early for our 50-minute flight to Rach Gia. There were a lot of people waiting and when people started queuing I joined them. Turns out this queue was for the flight for HCMC. There were less than 10 people, including crew, on our flight! Profit is obviously not that important in this communist country! Rach Gia was our gateway to the waterways of the Mekong Delta. The luggage was dumped in a large room, no conveyer belt, it was then ...
