Molly, Joyce and I departed nice and early at 7am with 9 TAIK staff. Took about 2 hours to reach Cai Be where Phu, our friend from Vinh Long (he owns a tour company there) personally took over the tour and led us through. Here's our itinerary :
Toilet break (no, not in the pond!!!)
Photo time with TAIK Staff
All set and ready to roll
First stop - Cai Be Floating Market
Coconut Candy Cottage Industry
Pop-rice is next
Flattening the caramel-coated pop-rice
Buying goodies
Row, row, row your own boat...
Trying hard to row without rolling over...
Lunch : Elephant Ear Fish - a Mekong Delta Speciality and lots of other Vietnamese cuisine. Thank you, Mrs Phu
And finally, kissing the orange at Vinh Long market
The trip back was delayed because of road works and jams. Took 3h 15m when it should be 2h 30m. And we left Vinh Long early - 2.35pm. If we had departed later, we would have taken even longer to reach back. Always be prepared to be stuck in jams when coming back from a tour anywhere in VN.
