It was an early start with the bus leaving at 7.45am for My Tho, where we took a motorboat and sampan to the orchard islet where all the tropical fruits could be found and tasted.

Upon reaching the island, we followed the guide and was introduced to how people from the country side got honey from bee.
Honey and Bee...
They kept such a BIG python! The tour guide kept asking me to hold it which I REFUSED profusely!

We were then brought to an eating place for tropical fruits. There was even a music treat from the host...

Next, we visited a coconut candy "factory". It was actually a make-shift set-up where they made coconut candy from fresh coconut. It was amazing and tasted really good. I bought a few packets back for relatives and colleagues.
Behind me was actually the equipment to process coconut into candy!
We then embarked onto a hand-crowing sampan boat to a resort for lunch.

Food at the resort was miserable but we made do. After lunch, we were given some leisure time to explore the area and could even cycle around as bicyles were provided. Mummy and I decided to just roam around. There was a small school and some houses and that was all about it on that small island.
The battery on my digital camera went flat so no photos after this. Anyway, we headed back after that.
The following day was actually our last day at HCMC. We did not do much but just shopped around at Ben Thah Market for souvenirs and collected our tailor-made cheongsam and Vietnamese ao-dai which cost about US$20 per set.
All in all, was a fruitful and enjoyable trip.
For the fun of it, here is a picture taken during Chinese New Year when Mummy and I donned the ao-dai.
