Mekong Delta trip 08-09/12/09

Ready to set off again- at 6 o in the morning. Destination Cambodia!!!







Morning views


Arriving at the floating hotel, Mekong Delta

Boarding the ferry to cross the Mekong river

Sann lages puff-ris! Coco Pops! Rice is heated up in a pot full of hot sand and it starts to pop! Super cool!


Spring roll pancake


Smelta kokosnott og banan-blad godteri! Mmmm...men sitter javlig i fast i tennene!
Melted coconut and babana leaf sweets- really tasty, sticks to your teeth though!!!








As part of the tour we visited rice wine and coconut sweet making villages in the Mekong delta



So finally after two months in beautiful Vietnam, time to leave!! Decided for once to go on an arranged tourist trip- something which goes against all we believe in of course- HOWEVER- I reckon all of you reading this would have doen the same had you been given the chance to cross a border by a speed boat!! So before leaving Saigon we book a 2 day Mekong delta trip with an overnight stay at a floating hotel! Hmm...not quite sure what to expect...
