Day 3:

Can Tho - Thoi Lai - Co Do - Long Xuyen

Anyone who has been to Can Tho and seen a busy floating market will never forget it! A boat ride will take you to the floating market before biking starts. We cycle through Phong Dien’s countryside, which has many small natural creeks across many villages. After a fruit stop at Phong Dien, we continue to pedal our bikes on the track by the river and enjoy the daily activities of locals on rivers; grocery boats advertising plastic household goods, cargo boats selling sand for building, small, fast boats bringing pigs, ducks to local markets and many small ferries taking passengers to the different side. We will stop for lunch in the town of Thoi Lai. Then we continue to hit the paths and ride to Co Do and Long Xuyen. In the afternoon, you will cycle deeply into and bicycle on paths along manufactured canals as you race with local boats, water taxis, cargo boats, and sampan. The main mean of transportation over here is waterways. We will stop at Bang Lang Storks before having a short transfer to Long Xuyen City in the late afternoon. If time permits, we could have one more interesting to see; a crocodile farm.
