A boat ominously named 'The Titanic', a cyclo and the worst bus journey for months got us to Chau Doc. 25 people in a minivan with 15 seats is not comfortable, especially when it's filled with breastfeeding babies, dripping 'air con' and seats with no back.
After a few hours cruising the waterways around Can Tho and visiting orchards we got up early today and joined a slightly less crowded speedboat for the trip to Saigon. There were more babies than adults (they travel free) and the smell was horrendous.
The Mekong is beautiful but probably the dirtiest river I've ever seen. No-one in this country seems to care about the environmeent they live in. Just crap everywhere.
