After parting with my cousins on Sunday afternoon, we rested, then took a cab to a restaurant outside Tra Vinh city for dinner. The place looked impressive with individual huts floating on a swamp of different sizes with dining tables. We thought we came to a great place on the last day in Tra Vinh, unfortunately the food we ordered wasn't great. Well, we learned that deluxe did not guarantee good food.
We decided to go to Ben Tre on Mon afternoon, so we took a nice walk through Tra Vinh market for breakfast and leisurely browsed there in the morning.
We each took a 30-min motorbike ride through a beautiful scenic country route to Pha Co Chien to a ferry boat which took us across the river, part of the Mekong. From there we got on a local bus to Ben Tre where we found a very nice hotel facing the river...for $18/night. Had a delicious lunch... We really enjoyed every type of transportation we took, feeling the new adventure which was smooth sailing all the way! Soaking in each moment!
We are now settled in Ben Tre for the next 3-4 days. Love being here! This morning we are planning to rent a motorbike to ride around the country side, and a boat ride the next day through some of the thousands of canals in the Mekong Delta, go with the flow to explore...
