    Un matin rempli de découvertes et de sourires

    Une des meilleures expériences de notre voyage au Vietnam !
    Minh était un guide chaleureux, passionné, et plein d’histoires intéressantes. Le marché flottant à l’aube avait quelque chose de magique – calme, authentique, sans foule touristique.
    Le petit-déjeuner végétarien à bord était délicieux.
    Le stop au petit atelier de nouilles était un moment inoubliable : la gentillesse des gens, les couleurs, et même la pizza de nouilles maison !
    Les petits canaux étaient féériques – on se serait crus dans un conte.
    Le vélo dans la campagne était facile et pittoresque, et la visite de la ferme de cacao fut délicieuse et instructive.
    Une matinée parfaite, pleine d’âme.

    Sunrise to chocolate — best morning ever!

    From the early pick-up to the final drop-off, this was one smooth, enjoyable experience.
    Floating market was peaceful and local, and Lâm explained so much about its future, the traditions, and what we were seeing.
    Breakfast on the river was tasty and fun.
    The noodle-making place was totally unique — not a souvenir shop in sight, just steam and skill.
    The canal paddling was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had on this trip.
    I really liked the biking part — we saw farmers, kids waving, and so much green!
    The cacao milk at the end was unexpectedly delicious. Thanks for the memories, Lâm!
