Mekong Delta (Floating Market)

The floating market outside of Can Tho is simply a trip back in time. When you come upon it the first impression is how massive in size it is. There must be 200-300 boats all doing business together. You see fruit and vegetables being tossed two-at-a-time from boat to boat. The sounds of the transactions and the smell of the diesel engines is Saigon street chaos on water.

But there's a beauty to it as well. If there was music put to it, you'd have a symphony. We thrilled at the kids coming up to us trying to sell us bananas and pineapple and even hopped onto one of the boats to watch up close as the old women carved the outer shell from the pineapples. It may all be in my head, but the fruit in Vietnam is the sweetest and juiciest I've ever tasted.

Great experience! One we'll remember forever.
