Travel with Me: Day 19

We've had such a great day. As I said in my last post we went on a tour to the Mekong Delta River. Firstly we stopped to see the people of the Mekong Delta. We saw how they kept bees to make honey and they let us try a special tea of theirs. It was really delicious actually, might get the ingredients to make it at home.  They also sang us a song and gave us their CD (this will all be on my You Tube, don't worry).

As we were walking through to get onto our boats we saw the strangest thing ever which I just wanted to share with the world.

Yep, thats two goats in a bag. Like, what. You wouldn't see that in England.

Anywhoooos, we got on our boat and we got to wear a non lá, you know, one of those traditional Vietnamese hats. I literally was so excited about this because I thought they were so cool. Plus I wanted a touristy picture of me in one. 

The view down the river was so extraordinary. It was actually beautiful, as you can see. It was so peaceful such a contrast from the busy streets in Saigon. 

After this we headed to a place where they made coconut candy. Ok guys, I HATE coconut but, these sweets were so yummy. If you get the chance to try these and you don't like coconut, just try them anyway. They are so good, especially when they have just been made. You can get them in different flavours as well which does't make sense to me but yeah. 

Finally we went to have lunch. Now as you know I'm extremely fussy. So when I saw what it was for lunch I kind of freaked out. Yeah, its that fish. Luckily it was served with rice which I just ate a lot of or I would have gone hungry. I am fussy but I also HATE fish so seeing this was like my absolute worst nightmare.

Anyway, today was such a fun day. We saw some beautiful things and had some great food (excluding the fish). Tomorrow we are going to pagoda which will be interesting.
