Vietnam

The first contact with Fourth. Directly from the airport in Saigon we went to the small town "Cai Be". It is located in the province of Tien Giang in the Mekong Delta. "Cai Be" is known for its "Floating Market" and for the beautiful little "Cai Be Church".

Excursion through the small, winding canals in the Mekong Delta. On these canals, fruits and vegetables are still being brought to the big creeks and to the "Floating Markets" in the Delta.

Short bus ride and short walk through the center of Saigon (nobody says "Ho Chi Minh City": O) I would have liked to have a look around there a bit longer but I'll catch up with it another time. When the metro is ready ...

Before leaving Saigon, make a detour to "Chinatown" and "Binh Tay Market".

Hội An, the old port city, is one of the few ancient cities in Vietnam that remained intact during the Vietnam War. The old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.



Hội An is really beautiful and worth seeing but of course also very crowded by tourists.

Thank you! I wish you that too 😊

Trip to "Hang Luồn" in Halong Bay. Kayak or bamboo boat through the "emerald green lagoon"; o) paddling, discovering caves and admiring monkeys ...

Morning excursion from the hotel ship with the supplement to the "Surprise Cave".



The "Hang Sung Sot", "Surprise Cave" or the "Cave of Surprises" was discovered in 1901 by the French. The cave is located on the island of Bo Hon.



The cave, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the bay, the rush… meer lezen

After returning from the "Halong Bay" to Hanoi, in the late afternoon, still slightly move his feet.



Close to the hotel, which is located in the historic city center, there is the notorious "Hanoi Hilton", a prison where American pilots shot down during the Vietnam War were imprisoned. Among others, the… meer lezen

Walking once through Hanoi. The city has so much to offer and there are interesting photo opportunities on every corner. However, Hanoi is not really a city for pedestrians, the traffic is quite exhausting and the constant horn drives you sometime in the madness. Every road crossing is a real, not entirely… meer lezen
