Mekong River Delta

On the bus ride home, Uyen took this shot. The tour today starten at 8:30 AM and we returned back to Saigon at around 6:30PM. Our tour guide said that there are about 10 million people in Saigon and I swear I saw most of them on our ride back. The tour included lunch and cost a wopping $16 for both of us!

Uyen thought we were going a little slow,so she picked up a paddle and helped.

The row boat ride was one of the highlights of the day

After visiting the bee farm, we walked through the forest to this canal were we boarded these row boats. I think this is the area that John Kerry self inflicted his wound on his swift boat.

Our taxi driver, Homer

We took a walk through the dense forest to a small village and boarded horse drawn taxi's for a one mile ride to a bee farm. Tha's Uyen with the hat.

Interesting music but if they had CD's available, I don't think I would buy one.

. Back on the river boat, we are cruising to our next stop to see a performance of traditional Vietnamese music.

We were served lunch then of to see more of the island

Our first stop at the island was to visit a factory that manufactures all kinds products from coconut wood. This ie Uyen crossing a small wooden bridge.




















Sorry about being a little behind. had some internet issues last night. Friday we traveled by bus to Mekong City, then we boarded a small tour boat and headed accross the Mekong River to a island that is known for it's many coconut trees. Here are some pics and comments.
