Vietnam Holiday Day Five: From Mekong Delta Home Stay In Ut Trinh To Dalat, 14 February 2012

“Enjoyed” the country and river sounds homestay – rose quite early wrote up and had breakfast.

Then off for a walk/cycle around Cat Thia area of Delta…

Ged was invited into this rather grand Cat Thia home
This girl persuaded Ged to take her photo
Daisy met this gang on her cycling tour

…then boat to Cai Be and then car to Saigon.

Visited another Parkson mall taking coffee and bought ginseng.

Then flew from Saigon to Dalat.

On the plane, a western gentleman sat in his seat near ours, until a couple (local?) bustled along and threw him out of that seat so they could be together. Seems they should have sat in front of us but instead he did so, with a remarkable good humour and tolerance – in the end all of us were laughing.

Washed and scrubbed before dinner at lovely resort Ana Mandara Dalat. Combination of artichoke salad, bon bon? of young papaya and greens with beef & prawn wrapped in pork on a bed of noodle, bland chicken curry and a slow cooked dish of pork ribs in caramel fish sauce and steamed rice.

There is a placeholder with links to all of the photos, itineraries etc. for this Vietnam holiday – here.
