the inner canals

Taking a boat to the inner canals was the highlight of the trip, in my opinion, especially when we swapped our motor boat for a smaller canoe, which a lady was rowing for us... a very scenic little trip that brought us a bit closer to the real life of the delta inhabitants.

They made us stop for fruits, tea and traditional music in a "restaurant" along a canal... while not being fond of traditional vietnamese songs, it was an OK stop... but if they had not stopped I would have been equally happy, perhaps even more.

What I found extraordinary is that people live where I thought no one would live... in the middle of nowhere, in canals which looked almost hidden away from the larger branches of the river, and that I thought impassable.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
