Travel Vietnam Day 3 My Tho

Still in the river city of My Tho.

Walking to our favorite place to have breakfast, hehe, I saw a little friend.

Had the same breakfast, eggs and baguette. Then someone pulled over, anchored down, any way she docked right next to the restaurant.

She was selling some freshly caught fish. We bought a snapper, which looked like 2kg. Costed us AU$9, so cheap, so fresh.

After having brekky, we headed to our friend's mother's village. Where their ancestors were laid to rest, in the middle of the village, just next to their houses.

They prayed and gave gifts. We were then invited into my friend's relatives' house. The village was so humid! Everyone was drench in sweat just sitting down.

Behind the house, there are little bait fishes that were drying in the sun. I don't know what type of fish, but it stunk!

Scattered everywhere were banana trees,

And lots of coconut trees.

These are the older ones which were like 5 storeys high.

Can you imagine climbing that to pick these coconuts?

I hate the heat, although, I was the only one not looking like a grilled tomatoe. Needed water so bad, luckily this lady cut some fresh coconuts up,

for a refreshing drink.

Can't get any fresher than this. All natural and organically wholesome.

The coconut was so good I asked one more for the road. Mmmmm so fresh.

I probably lost at least a kilo just visiting that sauna town. Needed to put it back on with these.

Everything on this plate tasted awesome. The crispy deep fried chicken, grilled fried shrimp in a crispy bowl of starch flour, banh khot. Outstandingly yummylicious, fingerlicking good.

Sleeping after a big meal is never good but the heat took a lot out of me. I know, I sound like a panzy. I probably slept a good 2 hours and we are out again to do some shopping.

Really need an adapter to charge all my batteries. Arrived at a local 2 storey shopping center. I've been told that it's the biggest in the city.

Could not find any adapter. So decided to just shop for some shirts. After shopping, I found heaven.

Ordered the spaghetti with chicken strips for $5. It came with a big cup of coke and small french fries.

Jolibee is a Philippines franchise, so there's a bit of Filipino pride as I schlurp the banana sauced spaghetti into the abyss.

Re-energized with Jollibee love, we headed straight to the night festival/market.

Inside that huge tent is the market. People were selling all kinds of goods. From tools, electrical, speakers, clothes to furnitures. Here I bought an adapter. I can finally charge my cameras and laptop.

I fell asleep while writing this post, ahaha! It is 5 in the AM, Friday now. Woke up trying to finish this post while packing up for our next destination, Nha Trang. Which is about 9 hours drive from here, My Tho.

Need to pack up all my shitzzaz. See you guys there!
