Day 7: Nha trang  free time

Day 8: Nha trang – flight to ho chi minh city – water puppet show, cyclo and saigon river cruise
I was interesting in the unique art of a water puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage. The puppeteers stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides accompanying background music. Singers originating from north Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets which are carved out of wood. Although the authentic shows were exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. The shows  typically last for one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.

Day 9: Mekong delta

HCM – My Tho – Ben Tre – HCM ( start 8.00 – return 17.00 ) Enjoying the scenic journey along the way bordered by green rice fields. On arrived at My Tho, visit Vinh Trang pagoda, take a leisurely boat ride along the river, view the stilt houses, fruit plantations and fishing villages along the river bank. Proceed to Tortoise islet, have lunch in the orchard garden. Then a boat ride to An Khanh – a less touristy attraction in Ben Tre, enjoy cruising on a hand-rowed sampan under the shadow of the water coconut trees along natural canals, then enjoy seasonal fruit & honey tea to the sound of “Southern Vietnamese folk music”, performed by locals. Visit a family business which epitomizes the idyllic rural lifestyle, taste the delicious coconut candy & observe the pastoral life as we roamed through the fruit plantation and village. Meet the bus and return to HCMC. This trip provides a fascinating insight into daily life in the Mekong Delta and we  were back home our own private collection of beautiful memories.

Ending the travel, I love Vietnam!
