Vietnam Day 3

The third day was a day tour to the Mekong River. We left at around 9am in the morning. The bus ride took close to 2 hours before we reached our destination where we then proceed by boat.


Looks like a bridge construction across the Mekong river was underway.

Some of the many fishing vessels that were dock

Ferries are still used there to get people across

The first stop was to see how Vietnam famous rice paper were made.

After the rice is grind, it is then poured on top of a cloth and steamed

The steamed rice paper is then layout to dry

Next stop were handicraft made from coconut wood


Soon after we had a break for lunch which was actually part of the tour package. A Pork chop, 2 spring rolls and a bowl of soup. Didn't look like much but it taste quite ok.

Ohh we had this fried fish as well.

After lunch, we were off again by boat

Next stop was the honey farm where we were treated to some honey and some light musical entertainment

Ohh this is how their bricks for building looks like.
We then took a horse carriage ride to a smaller river where we sat on small boats which took us back to the bigger boat

The next and final stop was the coconut candy factory where they made candies from coconut.

After that we made our journey back to our buses
