Lunch on the Mekong Delta! Photos

We weaved our way up narrow tributaries, through banks of weeds, and stopped for lunch at a little restaurant on an island.

The food was fabulous and we were serenaded by a little Vietnamese combo. The fish meal, caught from the river, was decorated with little Vietnamese figures.

I went off for a wander over the island to try and get a few shots of the exotic birds and flowers. I also wanted to see more of the normal day to day life of the people who earned their living in the delta.

Vietnam – Flowers, wildlife and crocodile soup up the Mekong – photos.

Vietnam could be a tropical paradise if the locals didn’t eat anything that moves. It’s hard to find anything alive.

So we gave up looking for living things in the deserted jungle and we visited a crocodile farm!!
