The three days were great. We were shown around a honey farm, rice paper factory, coconut candy factory and many floating markets. The 2nd day was our favourite as we got to go on a rowing boat with a really sweet lady who let us have a go, not that we were any good at it.
We then took a speed boat down the mekong through the jungle where we saw the most amazing birds and scenery. Our guide took us to a very local restuarant where we feasted on local food such as fish and pork in a claypot which is one of my favourite dishes so far,they're soooooo tasty.
Cantho was the next stop which is the biggest city in the Mekong Delta. The great thing about being here was that there weren't many westerners about. It felt like not many come here either as we noticed a group of teenagers following us around the local supermarket laughing at us!
The last day was basically a trip back to Saigon with a tour around a fruit farm. All in all it was a great experience, we did feel a bit like a group of hearded cattle but it was a great way to see local life.
Back in Saigon, getting ready to head to the beach in Mui Ne, life is bliss.
