Mekong Adventure V – A day of beauty and sadness
24.11.2018
For our second last day we headed further north towards Chau Doc and covering some of the highlights in that area – including travelling along the border to Cambodia.
However, before we left it was time to explore Tri Ton a little bit. Actually, both of us wanted to see the market we spotted on our short walk the previous night. And if possible having breakfast there.
Mekong Adventure IV – Finding mountains in the Delta

After our bike had a well deserved break it was time to pack our bags again, mount our bikes and depart Can Tho for our next destinations – the Mountains of the Mekong Delta and the certainly non-touristy town of Tri Ton.

The floating market
11/01 – 12/01
After the rather interesting experience drinking rice wine with the locals I suffered slightly in the morning. As part of the trip arranged with Phat was a boat trip to the floating markets near Can Tho, so getting ready for 6am with a bad hangover wasn’t easy.

23. The Mekong Delta, a bike, and too much rice wine
Atypical view from the bike
09/01 – 11/01
After a lovely stay in Tra Vinh it was time for my next trip on back of a scooter. I booked with Mr Phat, the owner of the Duy Tong hotel. It was slightly more expensive than what I paid for Ninh Binh, and for the $170 I was driven from Tra Vinh to Can Tho via Soc Trang.

22. Tra Vinh – experiencing Khmer culture in Vietnam
Kompong Chray Pagoda
07/01 – 09/01
During my last night in Cho Lach I decided to head to Tra Vinh next. Speaking to Tan I realised quickly I had to change several busses and a ferry – but I was sure I could manage that…

View over Luang Prabang
24/11 – 02/12
After the two days on the slow boat I was finally back in Luang Prabang, nearly 2 years after my first visit. And I must admit, I was smiling like a little child before they get presents for Christmas – I was happy to be back in this charming town.
