Taking a short break before hauling our bikes
over the river on a 2 minute ferry crossing.

Amazing bike riding through lush banana trees
and kids shouting "HELLO" as we
pass by. Oh, watch out Johann, a dog and a motorbike is
heading your way!!!
"Overnighting" at Bal-Duc Home
Stay

Our first night, spending it at a home
stay
in the middle of the Mekong Delta area.
Making our very own spring rolls for that evening - can't
complain this way we guess.

Johann is becoming a pro in making Vietnamese
spring rolls. Wonder if this
skill will remain when we come home???

Johann may have had too much of that homemade
snake wine and sautéed silk worms,
because it definitely looks like something has gotten to
his head...
Meeting the Locals

On the following day, we were invited into
a family's house. They of course did not know
ANY English at all - however with smiles, laughter and body
language, anything is possible.

I was lucky enough to get the best seat in
the house. Very, very nice people! They
even invited us to pick a rooster as they would be happy
if we joined them
for dinner. Unfortunately our biking had to continue...
Ending our Bike Trip

After almost 100 KM, we are not too exhausted,
but our butts are a bit sore, yes darlin'?

Celebration dinner with our driver and "guide".
Cheers to biking in the Mekong!
