The Mekong Delta, Can Tho, Vietnam

Just a quick post today. Been hanging around Can Tho, Vietnam for the last couple of days. Spent most of yesterday trying to fix my camera after the humidity in Phu Quoc did a number on it. Haven't been able to take pictures because the lens was all fogged up. It's dried up and seems to be better, but you will notice the pictures have a slight haze to them still. Spent the rest of the day walking around the town. I was surprised at the size of this city, apparently Can Tho is the largest city in the Mekong Delta. Although, besides the waterfront there's not a whole lot to see.
Today was spent on a boat tour of the Mekong Delta region, the Can Tho River in particular. We started out early, 5:30 am, which provided a nice view of the sunrise in the background as we began our trip. We started off with a visit to a couple of the floating markets. First the Cai Rang floating market, then later the Phong Dien Floating market. These "markets" are a sort of organized caos of boats loaded with fresh produce, all bumping in to one another. Had the opportunity to sample some of the delicious local fruits: pinapples, pomellos, mangosteens, rambutan, and dragon fruit amogst others. We continued down the Can Tho river for about 25km, and later turned off into some of the side canals, with a visit to a local fruit orchard that had hundreds of pink ducks. I was amazed to see pink ducks! Who ever heard of a pink duck? Further inspection around the area showed signs of pink on the bushes and ground. Then I noticed the hands of one of the children at the orchard and saw that they were pink as well. They dyed their ducks! Why, I have no idea. Very strange. After a short walk through the orchard, we continued through the canals working our way back, stopping for a delicious lunch later along the canal. We stopped just in time as a major rain storm passed through, but by the time we finished it had passed. The one nice thing about the rain is that it cools the temperature down considerably and made for a very pleasant and comfortable journey back. All in all the trip was about 8 hours and gave some excellent insight to life in the Mekong Delta.
Will probably spend another day here since I'm not sure where I should go next. Maybe a homestay at another location in the delta, most likely Vinh Long, or whether I should head straight to Ho Chi Minh city. Decisions, decisions...
