2015-10-03 Day 7 - Daddy's Birthday / River Markets / Massage for Everyone!























Wow, and early 530 start on my birthday! What the...

We were going on a guided trip to the river markets with our guide Lily. We took a boat to the floating market which was a little stormy, but very cool! We got some bread and pineapple for breakfast. It was a crazy market, where boat people stuck an example on their merchandise on a stick so people could see what they were selling. We then went to a land market which was fascinating. We bought mangos and rambutans for next to nothing. We got home at around 10, and the girls had a surprise cake for me bought by Tee, the manager. We all then got the best ever massage and Daddy fell asleep with Willow on his shoulder - it was sooooo cute!

We had noodles and chicken for lunch, then we decided to go for a quick bike ride. Just as we pulled out of Green Village, Roxy fell backwards off her bike and off the bridge down into a really muddy part of the Mekong! Daddy jumped down and reached to rescue Roxy who was in shock! Both Daddy and Roxy ended up with some scrapes. Our bike ride was fun though in the end. We almost got lost, but we found our way home.

We decided to go to the night market to get something to eat. We bought some souvenirs, and then had a very spicy dinner, and an iced cookies & cream drink. Saw floating restaurant. Got back for our fruit time at 9pm.

What a cool birthday! Thank you!
