On our last full day of the trip to Vietnam, we rode to the Mekong Delta in S. Vietnam. It is a huge river system with tributaries that flow into the sea. The weather was beautiful and warm. Our first boat ride took us to an island where coconuts are grown and made into candy. The islanders also keep bees and make honey.
We toured the island, ate fresh fruit, drank hot tea, and some of us even held pythons. Before we left the island, we took canoe rides through a small canal, out into the river where our larger boat was. It was such a relaxing day!
If you are ever in South Vietnam, make sure you visit the Mekong Delta area- a once in a lifetime experience!
