The Mekong Delta So... we went to My Tho - the capital city of Tien Giang Province. We took a boat over to 3 little islands on the delta, the first was beautiful, lots of jungle style landscape. We took a small motorized boat along this tiny stream which looked like it could easily be crocodile infested! The scenery was lovely. We visited a honey bee farm where we also saw how they make their coconut candy to sell. This young boy of about 13 hacked away ver...

Saigon! We took our last sleeper bus to Saigon from Mui Ne which took around 5 hours and we arrived quite late at night but i INSTANTLY loved it!!!

The waves were spectacular, China Beach is supposed to be great for ...

So - i had heard that this journey was absolute tortue so was expecting the worst from the start.. but even that hadn't prepared me!!!
