Day 86(March 31) Siagon, Vietnam

Our excursion was titled “Mekong River Delta” but really it was a boat ride across the river to a village on an island, followed by a 10 minute ride in a sampan, lunch and a boat ride back across the river. Jennifer and I were expecting a leisurely cruise among the river and delta greenery to celebrate her birthday.

It wasn’t what we expected but still a fun experience. Before we got to the river we stopped at a couple of temples. One had a lady Buddha, a reclining Buddha and a laughing Buddha.

Elephant Ear Fish for lunch- it looks like a mosaic
Our lunch with Elephant Ear Fish- the waitress picked the meat off the fish and made a spring roll
Location on river as we were leaving- it was developed and industrial all along the entire river- that’s why we didn’t have the delta cruise experience we expected
