Mekong Delta boat trip

Day 95

Can Tho

Today we are going on Mekong river boat trip. It is a private trip, a small boat arranged only for 3 of us (Juli, me and Gaili, Luciano has decided to sleep :-D To see the sunrise we needed to wake up at 5 am...yeah.

This is our route for today:
- sun rise at Mekong
- Floating market Cai Rang
- Mekong delta channels
- Floating market Phong Dien
- Rice fileds
- Monkey Bridge


Our guide picks us up at 5 am at the hotel and we go to the boat, in complete dark.


Sunrise....





The town is starting to wake up...


Soon we arrive to floating market Cai Rang, which is compeltely authentic, real floating market - has nothing to see with absolutely comercial and artificial floating markets in Thailand.







And of course, national dress - pijamas!










Next stop - floating market Phong Dien




Soon we feel like going to toilet, but there is no toilet in the middle of the river...our guide (below) spoke to some woman in a house and she let us go to toilet in her house :-D


And this girl was living in that house too :-)



Next stop rice fields...



And monkey bridge...:-D



:DD


We had a stop at some bar, on the way, had a drink and continued our way back to Can tho.


The boat trip was finished and we are in the town again.








Gaili :-D


Later same day we have decided to go back to Mekong restaurant, since guys have seen the other night a dish with a big piece of meat! This was the plan for today :-D



Tomorrow we go to Ho Chi Min City or Saigon - the southern capital of Vietnam!
