What an amazing holiday! So many experiences... where do I start? Well starting at the beginning would make sense.... We overnighted in Saigon and then flew to Rach Gia where we travelled 45 minutes by boat down the Mekong Delta to where the two weddings were held. A totally foreign environment like nothing I have ever seen before. The hospitality, food and sights were amazing. More photos to come.
This is one of the brides's families homes (where I am standing taking the photo is just in front of their house) looking out to the river. This is where the wedding was held (and the party .. and the fooooood! oh my...)
From left to right - Butch, Kieu, Ut and Iron Chef. Beautiful decorations and photos, and of course the brides were gorgeous!
Climbing back onto our boat to make the journey along the river back to Rach Gia. There are two boats in this picture (one was taking friends and family in a different direction up the river. There was no other way to access these houses other than by boat.
So I have to ask, did you buy a cool pointy hat?
ReplyDeletei was about to 'like' leighs comment, then remembered this isnt facebook :P what an awesome experience!
ReplyDeleteActually I got given a cool pointy hat when we checked out of our fancy hotel on Phu Quoc Island (more on that in a later post) and it became the bane of our travelling life - just for future reference - those things DO NOT fit in overhead compartments....
