Mekong Delta Tour to Vietnam

The night of Day 2 of the tour was in Can Tho and the accommodation was a wonderful improvement. We upgraded to aircon and the bed didn't have broken coils in it. Yippeeee!!!!! We both like Can Tho. It was much cleaner and the people very friendly. The vietnamese who are learning english just love to talk to you and they are so lovely.


hundreds of ducks in pen on land and river - they get the best of both worlds!!!

Our boat on the Mekong - took us from Cambodia to the Vietnam border then we took another boat to do the Vietnam part.

One of the boat drivers - he was about 9 years of age.

We have arrived at Chau Doc and are staying at a backpackers - Vinh Phuoc Hotel. It's very basic. We are having a drink right now at a posh restaurant overlooking the Mekong. Our hotel is about $10 a night and this one starts at $100 for the basic room.

The border crossing went very smoothly, quite boring in fact.

We leave Phnom Penh tomorrow morning (Monday 5 April) to do a Mekong Delta tour which starts with a bus/boat trip to Chau Doc. A night at Chau Doc and then we spend a day touring ending at Can Tho where we spend the night. Day 3 on tour and we arrive at Ho Chi Minh on Wednesday 7 April.
