Of course, I had to work that phrase in somehow! I guess it was due to the time of year, but we were very lucky with the weather. The temperature was perfect, no humidity to speak of and very little rain. Much nicer than here in Singapore, which was good because on Saturday morning we hit the Mekong Delta on a day trip. The delta is the site of many a war film, but more importantly, where most of Vietnam's rice is produced.
The picture above shows the Mekong River (and the head of a New Zealander!), which is easily the biggest river that I've ever been on. The water is very brown, hopefully because of the mud and silt that it carries to the sea! The far away bank on the right above is only the first island (Unicorn Island - no, didn't spot any!) - the other bank is about a mile away. We hopped into the rickety boat shown and off we went!
