Mekong Delta Tour, Day 2

Up for sunrise to go to the floating market..


It was amazing to watch this woman making these hats, only took her about 8 - 10 mins per hat....

Vietnamese stilted houses


 The Mekong Delta is one of the poorest parts of Vietnam but the most populated...



The floating market was one of the biggest of its kind..








 We went to a village to see how they make flat rice noodles the traditional way...
Under these drums is boiling water, stretched over the top is like cheese cloth, they pour a mix of rice flour, yam flour and water on top, put a lid on and steam for 20 seconds.

Its removed by a rolling pin of canes..


Layed out on these large racks..


Dried in the sun..


when dried, passed though this cutter..




Puts Em's chilli plants to shame...

This Jackfruit is amazing...

This is called Calamansi, its a bit sweeter that a lime half the size and has orange flesh..


Clound Apple's, taste like a cross between apple and a pear..



Dragon fruit..
