Ein wundervoller Start in den Tag! Lâm war nicht nur ein hervorragender Guide, sondern auch ein Geschichtenerzähler.
Der schwimmende Markt war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis – bunt, lebendig, authentisch. Wir frühstückten auf dem Boot mit einer köstlichen Nudelsuppe und frischer Ananas.
Besonders gefallen hat mir die ruhige Bootsfahrt durch kleine Kanäle – so friedlich!
Später radelten wir durch grüne Dörfer und Obstgärten, und ich habe noch nie so viele verschiedene Pflanzen auf einmal gesehen.
Auf der Kakaofarm habe ich gelernt, wie man Schokolade macht – so spannend!
Danke, Lâm, für diesen perfekten Morgen!
Waking up early was absolutely worth it! Thomas met us at our hotel and from the moment we stepped onto the sampan, I felt like I was drifting into another world.
The floating market wasn’t staged or touristy – it was real. Our breakfast noodle soup on the boat was a true Mekong experience.
I adored the small canals, where we quietly paddled under nipa palms and listened to birdsong.
Then came the biking! I felt like I was pedaling through someone’s peaceful backyard – children waved, ducks waddled past. The cacao farm was a highlight too – learning about chocolate from the source was fascinating.
Thank you, Thomas. I’m still smiling.
