Day 1: HO CHI MINH CITY – VINH LONG (L-D) Drive
from Saigon to Vinh Long, stopping en route at an elaborate Caodaism
Temple. En-route to Mekong Delta, seasonally, we can enjoy the peaceful
scenes of farmers seeding, ploughing, and harvesting the rice crop. At
Vinh Long, see how local people make tofu, floor tiles, bricks and husk
rice. Take a boat trip along the mighty Mekong River and its
tributaries to view the daily lives of people who work and play on the
waterways of the Mekong Delta. Lunch is on an ait, in a local house set
amongst fruit orchards and bonsai trees and then followed by a
performance of traditional Vietnamese music. We spend the night in a
typical Vietnamese local house. Home stay in Vinh Long.
Day 2: VINH LONG – CAI BE – HO CHI MINH CITY (B) Take
a morning boat trip on the Mekong River to visit the colourful and
bustling floating market at Cai Be. Stop at family-run businesses
producing rice paper - a key ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine. Visit a
fruit wholesale market, a local school and a French-influenced Catholic
church. Return to Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon. Tour to end. Post to FacebookPost to Twitter
