Day 1 - We went hotel /hostel shopping the day itself. Then, we toured the city on motorcycles, had numerous bowls of Pho bo, continued with barbequing our own prawns. Thereafter, we had full body massage in a lousy parlour. Lousy because the woman scratched me with her fingernails on 3 occassions despite having told her not to.
Day 2 - We did Mekong Delta in Cai Be and Vinh Long tour. We saw how coconut candy and crispy rice popcorn are made. We also tasted honey and some other complementary products from a honey farm and then cycled back to the boat. I am sooo much tanner after baking in the hot sun there.
Day 3 - We crawled through narrow Cu Chi Tunnels and tasted wartime food - steamed tapioca (topped with peanut coating). We then continued the day shopping in the heart of the city.
All was smooth as we met many kind souls along the way whom helped us get around. See the photos Fred uploaded onto Facebook!
