The Mekong Delta

We traveled through Saigon and down to Cantho. It was a long journey with lots of somewhat-touristy-but-still-cool stops along the way (coconut candy making, rice paper making, boating with pointy hats etc.). In Cantho, we hit the floating markets, and the bikes. Beautiful.


 Sav took a lot of these pics. Arty, no!?

A very sweet cafe that our guide took us to for delicious coffee and a rest

Love the giant jackfruit growing behind Glen and Mac's bike.  In fact, the fruit in the delta was exquisite. Star fruit was Glen and my favourite.
I love the local kids photo bombing this pic
If Dob had two more kids, a basket of live chickens, and a stack of pipes on board, THEN he would start to be matching the style of a Vietnamese father.
