We had our trip to the Mekong Delta today. We were told to be at reception for 7.45, so arrived a bit early just in case. However, we didn't end up getting picked up until 8.15, and were the only ones in the minibus to the station. Here we got on an already full bigger bus, which made us think we may have been forgotten about to start with! We left Ho Chi Minh at about 8.45 and after one rest stop we came to where our tour would start at about 11am. We started ...

Last night we met up with the people we had met in Mui Ne and had some food and drinks at the street food market in town. After this we decided to try and find the backpacker area with all the bars. Walking down the street heading towards it we crossed paths with another group of tourists.

This made a strange start for the day! We switched to a bigger coach and headed towards Cu Chi, with a quick rest stop at ...

We had arrived and checked in by 1pm and went out for a bit of an explore. We found the main market and I finally bought a new pair of sunglasses! We also found an opticians and completed our mission to get some prescription glasses for my mum and ...

We were up at 3.30am this morning, ready for our 4am pickup! We headed to the main road with the other people who were also waiting and by half 4 both the jeeps had arrived. We drove for about an hour in the dark in the most unroadworthy jeep I've ever seen! Our first stop was the white sand dunes, where we waited until the sky had started to lighten so we could see where we were going. We were given the option to rent a quad bike which we decided to do!
