Today travelled by bus in a tour group of 40 other tourists to the town of My Tho where we switched to a boat (and later several smaller boats) and visited an island where people produce (and sell) coconut candy and honey (and of course woodcarving). The whole visit felt like being on a conveyor belt: there were many other tour groups around and the focus was on buying stuff. In the evening ended up in the town of Can Tho where we are now staying overnight to continue this 3-day tour tomorrow morning.
Today was saved by a delicious (but unfortunately small) portion of Zürcher Geschnetzeltes mit Rösti in restaurant Pizza.CT (if I'm interpreting their business card correctly). The rösti was real, not some local interpretation like on the Galapagos and Java.
Looking forward to tomorrow. The Mekong Delta is famous for its rice, farmers get 3 harvests per year. Was a bit disappointed today that we were presented with honey instead.
