Can Tho, Mekong Delta
See all our Mekong Delta and Can Tho pictures here
The last part of our trip took us down to the south of Vietnam to see the floating markets at Can Tho and the Mekong Delta. From Saigon, we took a very long bus trip on a very old bus. The bus actually broke down on us – but never fear, the male passengers piled out, pushed it to the side of the road, and as a group, fixed the problem and got us going within an hour.
Can Tho Floating Market
The market wasn’t really that exciting – motorboats everywhere selling vegetables – but at least it wasn’t the touristy feeling we got from Damoen Saduak market in Thailand.
Our tour guide was either honestly impressed with Wendy's efforts, or was just glad to take a break from rowing around the big fat Canadians.
