The last day of any trip is always a bittersweet one.
We only had one excursion to a local garden and a candy factory
today. We took a smaller boat down the most scenic route of this trip, hiked through
a village out to a boat dock, got onto a canoe headed out to a local garden.
This garden grew a wide variety of fruits and hosted a gift shop with traditional
Vietnamese clothes, alligator and snake skin goods. The candy factory was really
interesting. We were shown how a fresh coconut was turned into a candy and
sampled a few. The workers there were extremely fast!
This trip has been amazing! I’ve learned more about Vietnamese
and Cambodian culture than I ever thought I would—Their religion, their history
and the way they lived. The people we traveled with have also been phenomenal
which makes traveling half way around the world so much more enjoyable. Meeting
new people is always one of the highlights of my travels.
Here’s to many more!
Until my next adventure, Cheers!
