We commenced our day with a short journey by boat for a fascinating exploration of Binh Thanh. We watched villagers weave reed mats, visited the home of a local elder, and walked to the temple.

After wandering the island, it was back on the local boat for a cruise around the island looking at the floating fish farms, famers collecting water hyacinth, and watching all the boat traffic and activity on the river.

After lunch, we sailed to a major fruit and vegetable region of the Mekong Delta and visited a cooperative that makes a range of products, from rice wine to coconut candy.
