The Mekong Delta is the bottom half of Vietnam's two rice baskets (the other being the Red River Delta in the North). The delta is formed by the depositis of the Mekong River- originating in the Tibetan highland plateau some 2,800 miles away. The river flows through China, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam before flowing out into the South China Sea.
Our Mekong Delta Guide was Nguyen. We cruised the Mekong Delta with Tiger Beers and Nguyen, the ex-ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam). He owns 5 boats and a bar.
We stopped at a small village where the family makes and sells sticky candy.
