On our second (long) trip to Vietnam we had again planned to visit a couple of different locations. We started with Can Tho because we love the floating market there on Mekong river and we also wanted to show it to our friend Henrik who had joined us on that trip. We started in the morning leaving Saigon and drove to Gò Công, a small village south of Saigon to visit the grave of our grand parents. They are buried in between rice fields behind their house. We then proceeded towards Can Tho and spend the afternoon and evening strolling through the streets:
The next morning we started very early at 5am to go to the floating market, a 45min boat ride. The evening before, we were lucky to meet the same woman who guided us with her boat 3 years ago (time flies…). Even on the crowded market we recognised a few faces of the women selling food and coffee.
