Today I went on a full day tour to the Mekong delta. We visited a town where they make rice paper, tried some honey tea and visited a place where they make coconut candy (which is amazing by the way). To get from one place to the next we got to sail in little wooden boats, complete with Vietnamese style hats, down the Mekong river which was really cool. As usual with these tours, I did find certain places geared towards tourist and not as 'authentic' as they claim. But it was still a good day out.
This evening I went to a rooftop bar for a glass of wine before dinner. The restaurant I originally planned to try was chockablock so I ended up somewhere called Propoganda and it was actually really good! Yet again I found myself sat next to some loud, obese American woman at dinner. She polished off 15 spring rolls for starter (pretty sure it was a sharing platter) before inhaling BBQ pork ribs. I'd love to see her try and fit down the Cu Chi tunnels! I went for BBQ pork noodles and it was delicious.
Looking forward to head to Hue tomorrow. I do like this city, but will be nice to go somewhere smaller and quainter; and with less motorbikes.
