We just returned from our Mekong Delta tour. What a great time. And our strategy of asking for the last bus really worked - only 8 of us and a guide. Luckily, the rain waited for the return ride to the port. Listening to thunder as we canoed through the jungle canals only added to the atmosphere. We saw very few rice paddies on the way. The road was lined with shop after shop, coffee shops and cafes. I keep wondering, "who buys all this stuff?"

We're sailing down the Saigon River. Time for my glass of wine on the balcony. Next up. Thailand.
