Tour Day

Blog for Sunday, 3rd June 2012 (afternoon to evening) We had lunch by the beach in Ha Tien near the border gate of Vietnam and Cambodia. This lunch was purely the Vietnamese experience and we had tried steamed fish with vegetables, which was simply delicious. After the lunch, we had made our trip by the bus to the boating area, where we then took a boat to an island off Ha Tien which was about a one and a half hour ride as there were a lot of waves that controlled the speed off the boat and we had stopped several times as there was slight problems with the engine. When we had finally got to the beach, few students had decided to swim, some decided to skip rocks and Avik climbed two trees like a monkey. We had dinner on the beach, it was a nice barbeque dinner of beef and soft shelled crabs. The boat had left the beach therefore we had to wait about an hour and a half, which only came to us leaving for Ha Tien at around 6. The boat trip back was about an hour and when we reached the boating area, we had to take the bus trip back to our hotel in Rachia Gia. -Rashmi Phanichkrivalkosil and Yeon Je
