Since my husband has bad balance it was hard for him to get on the boat even though he got plenty of help from the guide. We took the tuc tuc instead of bycycle which went fine. It was interesting to hear the locals sing, the vietnamese lunch pretty good. Nice to be able to try to cook vietnamesisk pancakes. Also very intetesting to see how they made coconut candy.”
