Our new, larger group and new tour leader, Matt, took the bus to Chao Doc, a fishing town in the Mekong Delta near the border with Cambodia. Soon after we got there, we all hopped on the back of motorbikes and took a trip up to a nearby mountain named Sam Mountain. The drivers didn't hold back much, and it was fun speeding through the countryside and up the mountain as sunset neared. At the top, there was a beautiful view of the delta in all directions. More importantly, there was a hammock bar where we got to lie in hammocks with a beer and watch the sunset over Cambodia. It was definitely a peak experience.
The ride back was even more exhilarating because it was in the dark, and we stopped at a temple outside of town. Suddenly, there were about twenty kids around us talking, playing thumb war and pattycake, and generally having fun. For some reason, they wanted to hang off my arms and have me swing them around, which I did. Days later, I was wondering why I was so sore.
