Vinh Long Island Homestay

Vinh Long is a small city/large town about 150km south of Saigon, smack in the Mekong delta area.

This Vietnamese family supplement their income by making their home a homestay for tourists.

This homestay is on an island of the Mekong river.  About NZD50 for the four of us including dinner,  breakfast and transport from/to the mainland...pretty good really.

Looking out from the edge of the Mekong island over to the mainland.  This local lady was king enough to let us get her in the photo too.

Some local island kids.  While taking the photo I made a Maori-tiki type face with eyes wide, tongue out and head over sideways - seemed to do the trick to get some smiles.
