Mekong Delta

After Saigon, we headed to Cambodia via 2 day Mekong Delta tour, which ended up being more just a transportation dressed as a tour. As we knew to suspect this, we kept our selves amused by guessing what devious means the tour company would take next to get the tourist dollar. Our favorite was a story where our hotel eligibly burned down, so we had to stay at a 'more expensive' floating hotel (where you had to dine of course because there was no way to shore). David thought it was nice overall, but I didn't enjoy this scam as much... couldn't agree on this one here :D



Best seat on the boat - no-one else wanted to sit on top of the engine.





Believe it or not, this is someones home.


Wouldn't want to live here either - although they do have a good taste in phones :)



Local fisherman coming from the floating market.



Efficiency is everything here... is it sinking or not??



Storm ahead once again.



Mind the river traffic!

Wanna take a dip? Cat fish were gasping for air in this back yard pond.

Early wake up from the marvelous floating hotel.

Returning to the boat from a 'authentic' village visit (read: another scam where village was set up to harrase tourists for dollars).

People's houses around the river.

You can bring your cows to water but you can't make them drink.

How many chickens can fit on one motorbike? Btw these were alive... poor chicks.
