Afternoon Sampan Excursion
This afternoon we took an even longer (about 40 minutes) sampan ride. Visited a local boat maker - sells his boats for $120 US and it takes about two days to make them......about a 50% profit! Then we got on a "tuk-tuk" (a cart pulled by a motorbike) and went about 20 minutes inland. Had to wear the traditional hat (which was very interesting!). Visited the oldest church in Vietnam and saw many children who were oh-so-happy. Got back to the river and walked along the path to our boat. At dinner (after spending the first half of happy hour alone at our table before FINALLY joined by another couple) we sat with two other couples - one from New Zealand and one from Canada. We enjoyed the visit so much the staff literally had to kick us out of the dining room :) Another great day.
