A long transfer via bus from Saigon to a port in the town of Vinh Long, from where we took a local boat (the long ones that have a car engine and the very long propeller shaft) with which we crossed the river Mekong meeting artisans, fruit and vegetable vendors, we stopped near improbable candy factories and puffed rice (we followed the whole production chain) bottles of grappa with scorpions and snakes and lots of crafts (local and Chinese)
we then returned to Saigon late in the evening to prepare for the transfer to Cambodia
