7th day in vietnam- mekong

(a)My Tho&Ben Tre (VND219,000)
(b)Cai Be&Vinh Long (VND269,000)
Both place are Mekong Delta Trip. we choose (b). It does not worth the price of VND319,000/pax (normally is VND269,000, public holiday need to pay extra VND50,000)
It is better to go by ourselves early in the morning, because we miss the morning part of the mekong delta, where the people selling, buying, exchanging goods from their boats.

8am depart to Cai Be (about 110km). Then take a boat trip to discover the floating market. At that time (around 10am), not many boats already..sigh..

Going on to the local village to visit rice paper making, coconut candy, snake wine, honey tea, and rice cookies.

We went to Xeo May riverside restaurant for lunch. i wonder is tat the only restaurant in Mekong? i think most people have wedding dinner here too. But the food not good, yucks..

After the lunch, we took a boat along the Mekong river to Vinh Long. Oh, the journey is 45 min, tour guide saying nothing, just let us discover the daily activities of local people. Most of us fell asleep and also the tour guide. Bad guidance.

Trips end at 6pm, arrive back to HCMC.

We had our dinner at 3A3 Restaurant. nice food! lunch:dinner=hell:heaven
Then we went to other Trung Nguyen again. Bought a lot of coffee!!
