Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Vinh Long
|
(L, D) |
This morning we set off for a drive through the Mekong Delta to the town of Cai
Be, well-known for its floating market. Here we will board our private boat for
a cruise along the maze of waterways and canals to Vinh Long. We will stop at
the home of a Bonsai gardener for a sumptuous lunch, including the popular dish
of 'Elephant ear fish', before continuing our exploration of the tributaries and
canals of the delta. Towards the end of the day we arrive at the home of a local
family whose house is built on stilts over the water. These people will be our
hosts for this evening and will tell us more about life in the Delta.

Day 2: Vinh Long – Ho Chi Minh City
|
(B) |
Rising early to the sounds of the Delta coming to life for another day, we have
breakfast before boarding our riverboat once more for a cruise to Vinh Long
town, stopping along the way to visit some local cottage industries. Following
this we will rendezvous with our vehicle for the drive to the town of My Tho,
where we will visit the Dong Tam snake farm and the Vinh Trang Pagoda, before
our return to Ho Chi Minh City.
