Sat 1 Oct Day 10 - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) – Mekong Delta – Saigon
Sunrise 5:42am Sunset 5:43pm
We explore the Ben Tre province in the Mekong region today, riding a xe loi to the local village of Huu Dinh. Travelling along the tributaries and narrow canals in a traditional-style cruise boat, we can observe daily life along the banks. We’ll stop at a family-owned coconut processing business and a brick making factory. We’ll then cycle to a local rice noodle factory before enjoying lunch. Our cycling excursion then continues as we visit Mr Sau Toung, a former Viet Cong soldier who spent two years fighting the Khmer Rouge in Phnom Penh.
