Anna and I did a day trip to the Mekong Delta , visiting three different provinces. I was a bit worried going in for a repeat of our Cambodia boat experience, but it was very different. Tourists were …
Fast forward to Saigon
Donating blood was an interesting experience, but I'll leave that for Anna to write about. Directly after that it was off to the airport and a quick flight to HCMC aka Saigon. The difference between S…
