kez & hay travels 06

If we thought there were thousands of motorbikes in Ha Noi, there were millions here, weaving in and out of buses, bikes and pedestrians.  Sometimes it was safer to be on a bike than be at the mercy of a motorbike rider! 
We visited the War Remnant Museum which contained countless artifacts and horrific photographs documenting war crimes during the Vietnamese war.  Part of the Museum was dedicated to all the war journalists and photographers, and there was also graphic dispays showing the appalling effects of Agent Orange then and today.   This was the most shocking and clear picture that we had seen of the horror that was this war.  

From here we set off to the Mekong Delta and spent a couple of days messing around on the river.  We visited a few floating villages, including an ethnic minority muslim village.  We were shown how they produce the sweets and clothing they sell.  A random tourist attraction was meeting their pet python which didn't go down too well with Hayley and Kerry!

We then said our goodbyes to Vietnam as we headed for the Cambodia border crossing.
