Trip to Vietnam Part 3

Day 2
Woke up around 7.30am...and ate breakfast at the hotel's restaurant , Blue Sky Restarurant...located on the 12th floor....
Then around 8.30 am the journey started again...We were brought to Mekong river
which took a 2 hour journey ...(sleep in the van)
When we reached  there we took a boat to the small island where the coconut tradisionally candy were made..
there is a few island surrounding the island...special names...
Unicorn Island , Dragon Island , Phoenix Island...etc..
The candy taste too coconutish...
=P Fully 'santan' flavour like that ...
The tour guide also gave us to taste different types of sweets...such as
banana flavour ...(cant remember e d)Then the tour guide brought us deeper into the rural jungle which is readily paved for the tourist...
Got a small stall selling sumting like kerepek...A bit too garing e d...
U should see how they fry without oil and pans...just pure olden and tradisionally made kerepek...
We bought some shirts around the island...as we walked and walked...bargain after bargain..

Then we sat on a BECA (Vietnam style)
They move the beca by using horse power (get it? haha)
One horse pulled 6 of us on one small carrage...
The surroundings there seemed like a normal housing area where people live...
We were then brought to a big stall...near a "lorong"..
Here, we were given a taste of pure honey homade , fruits like coconut salted with sugar , langsat ,longan ,dragon fruit etc.
We were entertained by opera like singing...(kinda lame) haha,...
Bees flying around you...>< LOL!!!
Now, here comes the most scariest and kinda fun part too!
THE RIDE ALONG MEKONG RIVER...(SMALL PART OF THE RIVER)
Here.. we are suppose to enjoy the view and the excitement of the ride on the boat...
lol..but the fear of the deep water with the Venice like boat...and the uneven in balance boat..really makes you worried...Crocodiles??? ><.........

COntinue later~~~
