All day tour on the Mekong. Traveled by bus, motor boat, donkey cart, row boat. Big brown river. Visited honey manufacture, coconut candy manufacture. We saw “local people” (that’s what our guide kept saying) making rice paper and singing local songs. At some point we wandered away from the group and ended up in a little hut with two old people having a Sunday siesta – in their one room house with a dirt floor. Their teeth were black from smoking. We befriended a young couple from Toledo Spain who spoke almost no English and of course no Vietnamese… only Spanish. Gutsy…they were traveling in Vietnam and Cambodia on their own.
