Mekong Delta overnight cruise

We are now in southern Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. After a four hour drive from Saigon we arrived and were greeted onto our boat Bassac III. There are only two other couples on board, one from Australia and the other from Belgium. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We cruised down the Mekong River for four hours and moored near a small village where we were taken on a tour, being shown many of the fruits and other vegetation growing wild. including 10 vaieties of banana, chiiles peppercorns jackfruit pomello banana fllower water coconut amongst others.

After a night aboard the boat the following morning we went to a floating market and a saw how to make rice paper popped rice and coconut milk. We also drunk some snake wine!
