Departure for a trip down the Mekong.
boat to the dock at our cottage. After advancing to the main channel a few miles and observed the life of the delta on its best we get on the Bassac, name of the main arm of the Mekong.
Magic, to be on this legendary river. We go back up to get a passage through a labyrinth of small canals or you shoe a floating flower market, an island about 20 km long, formed in the middle of the Mekong. A coffee break on this island and then return the canoe to reach the other side of the island. We will go round with the possibility of a dip. Return via a different channel and stop in a village for a taste of traditional southern Vietnamese dish. Back at the lodge after more than four hours of walking.
Rest of day free (hammock, reading, integration with the surrounding pool of pangas farming, rice fields, mango orchard etc... ...) 19h
meal and exchange of ideas on everything you saw.
Day 3 Breakfast and departure by bike to the market in our village. Here, culture shock you will discover the daily life of Vietnamese delta. I will not go into detail, it is something to live and not read. Even if you've seen markets in Asia here, it clenched different because our visitors are not for tourists, but as people in our family, it changes everything.
Coffee Iced Coffee only room for taking the time to enjoy life.
The rest of the day you spend in the same idea, exploring everything from corner bike and your own pace. You Ferrez encounters unexpected and surprising
19h meal and this time a lot of questions from you, you'll discover the land of smiles.
Day 4 Breakfast and departure for a great bike ride. Tighten all passengers as in (driving) can not see anything, trust me.
We will not go on small roads, no speed to enjoy every moment. We will drive in a huge maze of trails and bridges along the canals and Mekong. Many cases, visits, tastings and coffee breaks. In another we will visit a beautiful colonial house late nineteenth century in its own juice, how to extract the land of the delta into buildings how to use it all the rice plant, fuel eco, mushrooms, fertilizer, etc..
We will take a ferry across the Mekong and reach the island this time by the way, we go back up from south to north. The wealth of this land makes it a huge garden and everything grows. It is on this island that all flowering plants, vegetables, fruit trees bonsai, arise. From this island, every day boats depart transformed into floating garden. Beautiful place still protected from tourists invaders with no respect towards the country they visit. Duration of the ride between 4 and 5 o'clock.
Back to bed rest and awareness of what you 've seen
19h meal and discussion.
Day 5 Breakfast. Check the tide in the dugout as smaller (maximum 4 people per boat).
This tour is totally different from the ride on the Mekong. We must take small boat to reach the small canals that are all around the house. we're going to see houses, face the most alive who can be seen on the roads. We'll see on those channels that how life goes on water; exp. : A canoe loaded goat or a shepherd guiding his flock of ducks painted in pink, blue or other to recognize the owner (a feature our corner).
It will often lower their heads to pass under bridges or in some invasive vegetation. THE HEART is the delta.
Duration about 3 hours.
Rest of the day free.
19h meal and your impressions of the day.
Day 6
Got up early, quick coffee and departure by car or motorcycle depending on the number for Can Tho and the floating market. A good hour drive, arrived in Can Tho 7 am 30. Boat to reach the floating market. Coffee on board and tasting fruit stalls on floating. Back on shore about 11 am, towards a restaurant table or each individual in huts on stilts along the Mekong.
After a good meal around a Vietnamese fondue, hiking and shopping in Can Tho city currently 4 th in Vietnam. This will allow you to see the new Vietnam. Nothing to do with peace and life around the house, but those few hours will give you an idea how how Vietnam has recovered after being one of the three poorest countries in the world, there are only a few years ago. An important lesson that proves that when you do not cry every day about his fate, everything is possible and knows no crisis.
Then we will go back to the cottage with a stop in a pagoda Cambodian Buddhist style. It is a faculty of young monks. For those who speak English, the young novices will be happy to share their world. For others like me, very limited English emotions of such a site are often larger than words.
Back at the lodge late afternoon.
19 h meal, this time mostly laugh, because after the floating market there is often enough ...
