Break to the Mekong Delta

Liz and I got a break from Hanoi and traveled down south to have a brief 3 day tour of the Mekong Delta. We chose a group tour since it afforded the best access in the most efficient way. Fellow travelers and local people we met were great company and a welcome change from the cold shoulder we generally experience up north.
My birthday fell at the end of the tour and amazingly Liz surprised me on the bus trip with a birthday cake she bought on our last market stop as we headed back to Saigon. By far the most unexpected birthday cake yet!
