Mekong Delta Tour Day 3 - Cantho to Chaudoc

Today, Phuc took us to Cantho's floating market.

                 At 5 o'clock in the morning.

We were probably the earliest tourists there, but no matter. We had a delicious cafe sua da served to us from a boat, front row seats on the floating restaurant, and got to witness the filming of a Chinese documentary on Cantho.

Then, we toured a rice noodle factory where we got to watch how rice noodles are made.

Then, we went to a pig farm.

    [And as a result, I have eliminated pork from my temporary carnivorous diet.]

Then, before we headed to our next city, Chaudoc, we visited the oldest Khmer Pagoda in Can Tho.

Pros

I have a secret for you!

All smiles! Don't eat me!

Peek-a-boo!

Vendors at floating markets hang their products on poles to advertise as opposed to yelling like street vendors.
