Wow, 2 star hotel breakfast too. Very very yummy. Was on the 8th floor with a nice view of Can Tho. We took a boat out early in the morning to Cai Rang to check out the floating market, the biggest floating market in Vietnam. Bought a pineapple off a boat in the market. The sweetest pineapple I've ever eaten. Then we went to the street market. Bought a papaya (delicious!) and a pomelo for snack later. Oh my goodness...so much fruit! So yummy! I've already eaten more fruit on this trip then I normally do in a year. We also got to see a rice paper and noodle making factory. The process is pretty cool. Nothing's wasted. The rice husk is used to fuel the fire and the ashes are sold to people who use ashes as fertilizer.
So we were walking in the park and noticed some kids eating some fried food and I was looking to try to figure out what they had. They saw me looking and gave us each a piece to eat. So nice of the kids. Anyways, we found the stand the kids got the fried goodies from and we ordered a fried spicy ball of something and fried banana. Then we found the dessert store that we had stumbled upon the night before and ordered fruit cocktail again. I've never had anything like it before. There's durian in there and makes the fruit cocktail taste like a milkshake.
After our food adventures in Can Tho it was a 4 hours car ride back to Ho Chi Minh City. Got back into the city and we decided to get a massage at a hotel near our hostel. They were all so busty. What's with the low cut shirts and short skirts? Let's just say I'm almost 100% sure that this place was not legit. Ewwww....gross! Anyways, next time I'm not going to get a massage at a hotel.
