Started our two day Mekong Delta tour the day. Started with a 2 hour bus journey to Cai Be where we caught our boat and toured up the river through the floating market and then we stopped for a quick tea break and were shown beehives and a big python snake. When the guide was asked if it was dangerous or not he said 'no, i don't think so' needless to say only one guy had a shot of holding it. There was no way i was gona have a shot, it was huge and wrapped its self around the guide while he was holding it, no thank you!! Walked to a local village where we got to see how they made the delicious coconut candy and rice paper followed by a jaunt across the river where we saw them make rice krispies from scratch, very similar to making popcorn we got to taste the finished product again, very tasty! After lunch we made our way to Vinh Long on the boat where we had to get a 4 hr bus to Chau Doc which is near the Cambodian border. Had a really nice buffet dinner with our group before heading to bed.
