Our experience biking through the Mekong Delta was an eye-opener, particularly when we reached the bustling floating market at dawn; the colors and sounds were unlike anything we had seen before. The accommodations were comfortable, allowing us to recharge for another day of exploration, though the Wi-Fi was spotty at times. A memorable moment was when we stopped for a local breakfast, where the fragrant pho truly captured the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. While the biking routes were mostly scenic, a few areas had challenging terrain, which took some adjustment. Overall, this adventure offered a unique perspective of life in Can Tho, balancing culture with the thrill of cycling through an incredible landscape.
