This was a really full trip! We have been on many excursions and this one had the most to do. First, we were picked up in a new minivan with comfy leather seats. We were driven to Can Tho and got into a boat that took us to the floating market which was really all I expected. But this was like a huge food tour! 1) Had lunch and drinks brought to us by vendors on boats. 2) toured a boat selling pineapples and ate fresh pineapples 3) went to an over water shop that makes pandas noodles - tried snacks and toddy palm drinks. 4) boated into Mekong canal and had a variety of fresh fruits 4) walked to a cacao farm and had iced chocolate 5) drove to the deep countryside where you could smell fresh rice from the rice fields. Walked to a local house and had a huge amazing lunch. Shout out to our great tour guide Dai who was super sweet and knowledgeable!!
