Day 5 From Ho Chi Min to Can Tho

We had breakfast at 8:00 am and we left the hotel at 9:00 am. After this, we went to take the bus and it was an adventure. Once we arrived in the bus stop we waited for about 40 minutes and the bus never stopped ( it seems that the location of the bus stop is not convenient for the drivers due to they have to take a road that it is opposite to the side where the bus stop is, so they prefer not to stop.

There was a bus stop ahead but we were afraid to cross the street without traffic jam (Some part of HCM city does not have traffic light so people have to manage how to cross the street.

Once in the terminal we bought the tickets in a official counter for it. The tickets costed 90.000 (AUD 6) (per person) (super cheap in comparison to buy them through agency, which requires 270.000.

We took a sleepy bus and it took almost 5 hours to leave us in Can Thon terminal (the terminal is quite far from the city centre but there is a free service bus for overseas ).

Yes, we finally arrived at west hotel in Can Tho centre . Beautiful, comfortable and cheap hotel 😊

After this, we went to walking around to visit street market and the city. People frequently sell sea food alive 😶.

In this city, we noticed that it is not as busy as HCM city. People can walk on the sidewalk, which is good. The architecture is quite different in comparison to HCM city
