“…We went by air conditioned bus to the river where we boarded a boat. We went up river to an island where we saw bees & had honey tea & then got to see how they make coconut candy, which was very interesting, we tasted some local fruit & watched a performance by some local singers. We then got to have a ride on small boats for a short distance on the small river ways. After this we boarded our boat & went across to another island where we had lunch & got to relax in hammocks before we returned to the boat & then onto our bus for a return drive to Ho Chi Minh. Good day out…”
