Today was our free day and it truly was a defining day for Vietnam. First, we went with the hotel to tour the Mekong Delta and go on a few islands to try local fruits and teas. Despite the (almost) unbearable heat, the tour was unforgettable. The food was unique and delicious and our modes of transportation (boat, kayak, carriage) were all beautiful. The kayak ride was so picturesque that I’m not even sure if my photos and videos are real.
At night we finally went out to the backpacker street and all got to hangout with each other and the locals which was so fun. We met people from all across the world and shared stories and eachothers company. Everyone was so friendly. I had such a great time and really felt like a local myself just sitting on the streets in the short red chairs, listening to music and enjoying the company. What a way to spend our final day in Vietnam! I wish we had just one more.
