Foreign visitors<br />
sailed at Tra Su<br />
cajuput forest<br />
storks perch everywhere and fly<br />
around. There were also crocodiles<br />
at the sanctuary. We spent a day<br />
visiting U Minh Ha National Park.<br />
We also experienced the beauty<br />
of the country's border area at<br />
the Trem, Cai Tau and Doc rivers<br />
and in the mangrove shades and<br />
immense reed fields. Oc was<br />
excited about the mischievous<br />
monkeys she saw on the way.<br />
Oc was deeply influenced by<br />
what she saw with her own eyes<br />
and felt with her senses. She<br />
had many stories to tell when we<br />
returned to Hanoi. That's what<br />
we wanted to give our daughter<br />
through this trip.<br />
We left Ca Mau for the town<br />
of Chau Doc. It was dark by<br />
the time we arrived.<br />
Chau Doc is the closest large town<br />
to the Vietnamese/Cambodian<br />
border crossing on the Mekong<br />
River. The scorching heat<br />
exhausted Thao and Oc, so we<br />
changed our plan and stayed in<br />
Chau Doc for two more days. We<br />
rested and only went out when<br />
the sun was no longer burning<br />
hot. We visited the Ba temple and<br />
Tra Su cajuput forest. The forest's<br />
impressive ecological diversity<br />
and wild natural beauty has<br />
developed Tra Su into a popular<br />
tourist destination in Chau Doc<br />
- An Giang. Our boat tour zipped<br />
us through a living carpet of water<br />
lettuce adorned with green roselike<br />
petals so densely packed that<br />
we had to remind ourselves that<br />
we were actually on water. We<br />
were all enchanted by the forest's<br />
picturesque scenery.<br />
From Chau Doc we left for Ha<br />
Tien, and took the Superdong<br />
speed ferry to Phu Quoc<br />
Phu Quoc is becoming famous for<br />
its stunning beaches, untouched<br />
natural environment, easy-going<br />
and relaxed atmosphere, friendly<br />
locals, and fantastic scuba diving<br />
and snorkeling. The island offers<br />
plenty of memorable experiences,<br />
exciting activities and places to<br />
visit that will keep you and your<br />
family busy and entertained.<br />
Unfortunately, it has recently<br />
undergone excessive exploitation.<br />
Oc spent a few days swimming in<br />
the sea and relaxing to build up her<br />
strength for the next destinations.<br />
Thao was a little concerned that our<br />
little girl was getting so tan, but I<br />
thought it made her look stronger<br />
and sturdier.<br />
