tributaries of the Mekong River. From our boats, we are able
to closely observe the daily rituals of river life and
participate in the bustling commercial activities as we buy

with an abundance of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables.

This
morning we set off for a drive through the Mekong Delta to the
town of Cai Be, well-known for it's floating market. Here we
will board our private boat for a cruise along the maze of
waterways and canals to Vinh Long. We will stop at the home of
a Bonsai gardener for a sumptuous Delta lunch, including the
popular dish of 'Elephant ear fish' before continuing our
exploration of the tributaries and canals of the delta.
Towards the end of the day we arrive the home of a local
family whose house is built on stilts over the water. These
people will be our hosts for this evening and will tell us
more about life in the Delta.
Day 2: Floating market

early to the sounds of the Delta coming to life for another
day, we have breakfast and start our trip with a boat cruise
on sparking streams along the endless waterway of Mighty
Mekong River to visit more floating markets. There will be
hundreds of boats loaded with fruits, vegetables and fish
jostling for trade. Sellers advertise their wares by crying
