Mekong Delta Day Trip
There were a few pictures I wanted to put up as the cover for this page but this guy wins as he's so happy he did make me smile :-D whilst everyone is praying and worshiping him, (it, as apparently Buddhas don't have a gender) I'm stood there with a stupid grin on my face!!
The statues were made out of the white stone and here massive but very beautiful, basic but good detail... If that makes sense?!? I liked them. This was at a place they call mini 'Angkor Watts' and there were real life monks there that ride scooters :) which also made me chuckle.
We went on to a boat trip around four islands of the Mekong Delta, a coconut candy island, a honey island, crocodile island and weird and wonderful fruit island... My tummy didn't agree with me by the end if the day, after trying all these things!
On one of the islands there was a huge ass snake which I jumped in to hold... No idea why I had the edge to let the guy put this massive heavy slimy thing that could potentially squeeze me to death, around my neck, it felt very weird and I could feel it moving and tightening on me. I didn't stick around long enough to find out what kind of snake or how long it was, I reckon nearly 10m.
The highlight thought was a rowing boat ride through this gorgeous river part that had a canopy from the trees. That was my impression of the Mekong Delta, as I was a little disappointed with the motor boat ride on a dirty river in between working ship yards, so I'm real glad we got to do and see that part :)
