Red & Yellow, Black & White: Mekong Delta Tour

Mekong Delta Tour

Today we went on a day-long boat tour of the Mekong Delta. It was relaxing and great fun! Our tour guide was fluent in five languages, including Russian, and she was a hoot! We saw candy being made, tasted unusual fruits, saw beautiful flowers, stilt houses, houseboats, and monkey bridges.
