Chau Doc and Tra Su forest

Today we left Phu Quoc island to go to Chau Doc. On the way, we went to see some Crocodiles that will be kept to eat. 

We saw crocodiles from 30 centimetres to 3 metres. 

There was a station where you could have a bamboo rod with pork lung on the end, and you'd try and get them to eat the meat. 





They jumped out of the water with an amazing snap. We then went for lunch and ate crocodile! It was really tasty! 

Afterwards we drove a long way to a bird sanctuary where we went on a boat through mangroves, and saw lots of different exotic birds in their natural environment. 

While we were driving, our guide pulled over and told us to come and look at something. It was two water buffalos in mosquito nets! The mosquitos in this area were so bad that a buffalo with a cm thick skin needed a mosquito net. 

I suppose repellant would be too expensive! We stayed overnight in a hotel in Chau Doc ready for the next day.
