The trip is a 2 day and 1 night tour to the Mekong Delta. We first travel to Dong Thap Province and have some good coffee at my in-laws house- yes, my Mrs will also be coming. Then off to see a very small and a treasure of a pagoda. Its from the movie 'The Lover' after the book from Marguerite Dumas. There is info from our side and in the Pagoda and the love affair of Marguerite Dumas. Its a famous book/movie called The Lover. Also, pretty flat and local bike ride for about 2 hours near their house. Its an amazing way to see orginal folk and how they live in their daily life. Around the end of the afternoon, we arrive in Can Tho, the Might Capital of the Mekong Delta. Day two is the Magical floating market, a must-see in Vietnam. An early start with Floating boats serving you coffee or fresh juices at the market. Then sit back and watch the Market from our boat....truly amazing. Later, we visit a fruit garden to taste the local produce. In the afternoon back to Saigon.
