Delta Good(rum)

Mekong Delta

Still happy.

Today rockety rocked. We took a tour (of course we did) up the Mekong Delta river (I think that's what it's called) and it was pretty spesh.

Got picked up at 8am from the hotel (not so good seeing as Duncan and I had hardly slept on our harder than hard mattress - soooo not used to anything other then Five Star these days - plus my colon was in turmoil from the severity of the night before's hot food) and driven to the Delta river. There's something special about this river. It's, like, the largest one in Asia or something and stretches all the way up through Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand with people living on it and stuff. It's famous for the floating markets which unfortunately we missed. Because they start at 3am and finish at 7am. I know. What the?

But the tour was great. We were ferried about, drinking coconut milk from coconuts, visiting markets, watching them make coconut candy, trying honey green tea, eating incredible food (Elephant Ear fish), rowing down winding passages in tiny boats, being pulled by horses through villages and holding a MASSIVE python (felt right like Spears, didn't I?) It was ace. And all of it in the sun. It was a totally rotten way to spend the day. Reverse!
