So, because of the overly long journey we missed the last boat to Hon Tre Island which meant we would have to spend the night in Rach Gia. This wasn't a bad this as there are lots of hotels and I'd like to see the city.
The pictures above are a view from our hotel next to the harbor. Not bad really for 12 dollars! We hired a motorbike and explored the city. We stopped at a pagoda which had a statue of a man called Nguyen Trung Truc. The reason he has this statue it that over a hundred and fifty years ago he organised and led the locals to fight against the French who were colonizing Vietnam. He was only a fisherman and did some good things. Read more on the following link

After this we went to a nice fish restaurant in the town. We order a section of dishes, one of them was the deep fried cheese. The picture is below.
As you can see when the cheese came they were six perfectly formed wedges. Do they look familiar? Upon further inspection these wedge turned out to be deep friend laughing cow triangles! They were very tasty though and it was a good meal. It was even cheaper than Ho Chi Minh City which is saying something.
It was a very pleasant stop in Rach Gia. Anyway, off to Hon Tre tomorrow.
