Yesterday evening was a subdued affair with the lads. Henry, from Essex, died in the tunnels (expected scorpion bite) it hit the lads pretty bad as they were with him at the time, so we just went out for a KFC. This morning I rose before anyone else in the dorm, because I was heading to the Mekong Delta. The bus was meant to arrive at 08.00, 45 minutes later we finally boarded the minibus, on the journey I chatted to a guy from Hong Kong and we spent most the rest of the day together, along with 2 Norwegian girls, also on a gap year. After the minibus journey we joined forces with a coach party and got on a boat together. The first island we landed on they specialised in making coconut candy, one of the tastiest sweets I have ever eaten, so I had about 10 of the samples. On the next island we were given free fruit and were serenaded by the local women including a version of 'If you're happy and know it clap your hands', possibly one of the weirdest experiences of the trip so far. I ate so much fruit, I think tomorrow my bowel movements might be quite fluid.
