Yesterday we took an hour and a half motor coach ride to the Mekong Delta and took a boat ride on the Mekong River. We stopped at a island and were shown how to make fresh coconut candy. We drank honey tea with the bees and walked 1 km through the island to see the local people and homes. The Vietnamese people are so welcoming and opened their homes for us to take pictures. After the walk, we had fruit and listened to music from the local people. The most enjoyable part of the trip was when we took a Sam Pan boat ride down a narrow water way through the island to the river. For lunch, we ate riverside.
We returned back to Ho Chi Minh around dinner and went to the market. The market had everything! Food, Clothes, jewlery, shoes...The ladies would say "Mam" and tell us "more" when we tried to talk them down on the price. On the way back, wehad to cross 3 streets, which was an experience in itself.
