To Cân Thó

This was the long day of biking. Two people did not do the whole amount. The rest were glad to be done by the end.

Yesterday we tried many new locally grown fruits and today we got a few more.

We rode from the hotel! We took a ferry and got a delicious and plentiful lunch. Back on the bus and another ferry ride and again at a place where the traffic was less, we rode. They had not charged the ebike and it didn't go the distance. We are in or near the Mekong Delta which is why we are on so many boats. The Viets have a different name for Mekong which translates to Nine Dragons.

Vietnamese has 12 vowels. Some refer to the tones, high, medium and low.

Good news:  a Fri was able to go to my house and photograph my vaccination record for entry to Cambodia. 

Trucks, cars, motorbikes and cycles on the ferry

Our guide is wearing the red jersey. 

Trek Marlin 5 is a nice bike but no bag or rack. Knobby tires are a bit of overkill
