Mekong Delta

Just a quick update, turns out I've been pretty busy and haven't had alot of time to upload pictures, but:

In the last few days I've been in the Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam (see Map)
So it's a region just off to the south of Saigon and is the "lifeblood" for fruit and fish products in at least Southern Vietnam. On the river they farm catfish, up to 20,000 per cage. They grow heaps of coconuts for use in candy, drinks and more, dragonfruit, pineapples, rice, honey, in fact, you name it they probably have it. In fact, they even dredge up the dirt from the bottom just to sell it to construction.

So essentially I've been "On a Boat" for the last two days. Overnight I was in Can Tho the biggest city on the mekong and have met a number of fellow travellers with good advice on the destinations ahead.

And today I saw the "Floating Markets" essentially the bulk fruit and vege market for Ho Chi Min region, and then took a fun filled bus trip back over the course of 5hrs.

Will throw some pics up in the next couple of days. Gotta head out to the pub now, so will fill in more later.
