Monkey island and Can Gio beach (Ho Chi Minh city)

If you are bored of crowded and noisy HCM city, there is a place you can go to hide from the city. Trust me, it's not too far from Ho Chi Minh city and really quiet.
In the early morning, two small girls (my close friend and me) went to Can Gio by motorbike. It was a beautiful Friday, and we both hidden from boring work. Can Gio is a far district in HCMC (50kms far from the city center). Using Google maps you can easy get the instruction for going to Can Gio beach. 
As scheduled, I picked my friend up and we went straight to Nguyen Van Linh street. We passed by Phu My Hung area and then we went by Huynh Tan Phat street. During our route, we stopped to take a pictures next to the river.
When we arrived Binh Khanh ferry, we were so eager because it's the first time we travel by ferry. However, we were the one who stood at the top of the waiting line. After the door was opened, we intended to go down the ferry, unexpectedly it was the door for pedestrians, our motorbike was not allowed going first. A guard stopped us and asked where we go, he made us like foolish in front of other pedestrians. Some people laughed at us. OMG we were so shy. Finally motorcycles were on the ferry, we were extremely excited. Feeling of floating on peaceful river was really good.
It was a very peaceful day because we left all the works behind, like we were hiding from the noise of Saigon to get to a remote rural area. 
After get out of ferry, we went on the street named Rung Sac, a long and wild street of Ho Chi Minh.The street seems has no stopping point. We sometimes paused for taking pictures because we could not ignore the beauty of nature.
When we were riding on motorbike, suddenly we heard "tweed, tweed". Looking back we saw some polices who looked at us but we didn't think that the whistle sound is for us. We stopped to meet the policeman. He greeted us politely then he asked us to provide driving license and related documentation. We hesitated, not knowing what we did wrong. After checking our documentation, the policeman thanked us and then let us go.
We were happy to continue our journey. The road ahead was bringing us direct access to the horizon. My friend eagerly stop to capture this wonderful moment.
Extremely quiet way, we tried to run the tail for support under other people afraid. Monkey Island to Rung Sac-mother and son could not know what's inside game not because they saw several people run into, but not to play, but ran out immediately. We asked to pay protection, security inside him very many monkeys on the preview to go. We are also curious, despite its reputation for being mama but I was afraid of monkeys hihi. Well forget it when not in Monkey Island has been a carefree monkeys jumping on the bus I sat, I was startled revving run away. Scared Monkeys too. However, we still decided to buy tickets to see the monkey curiosity. Inside, a new funny story really begins. Daughter loves monkeys, sat playing with monkeys, shooting with friendly monkeys looked like two close friends hehe ...

Rung Sac there is so much beauty to photograph, mother and son pose all sizes, all styles, is climbing like a spider, monkey swing tree, the longer arms that straddle as superheroes. Daughter posing inside the delectable roots are a monkey running again jumped at her daughter's shoe, Mama just looked it up dully brought up the tree. Luckily there are going to protect him, so the hero and save the hand. He yelled monkey threw a terrified voice it always shoe. Seemed shoe was plopped into the river. Any doubt happened like in the movies, thanks to the high heel shoe was caught on a tree branch swaying teng which to live. He protected only with hand out and took the daughter was extremely excited monkey then fled disappeared. Unfortunately at that time should not panic too remember shooting up again. Shoe bite nose makes some huge signs. After this each time took the shoes off brought her daughter would make it much, remember this anniversary. Hihi was fun to finally regain his daughter's shoes also.
However, this time we are hungry and they were all tired, but in this area there was nothing to eat. Go inside the crocodile parks add some pictures done again, we come out. At our new, empty Rung Sac only only a few guests. But now, even a secondary school bus pulled in some big, noisy agitated it all up. The atmosphere now more animated, little monkeys are also occasions food spoiled jerk. We left Rung Sac sailed Gio, from Rung Sac there only about 7 km. We came to the beach 30/4, keeping his car into the restaurant for something to eat. Meager meals our dugout only dish fragrant fried squid satay.

While waiting for lunch, we saw cars pulling candy, candy only, of childhood memories came rushing in the mind of every child. I ran to my mother bought 2 2 pieces of candy just, finished feel funny, like the time to return to childhood at home.

Finished our meals sprawl seat backrest relax and feel the cool sea breeze to cool people. I also do not forget to donate her daughter's birthday gift did little to prepare the night before. Looking daughter looks so funny surprise. Then we added 2 postcards fall asleep in front of the ocean and the waves lapping against the shore spurred bargain sound like the mother's lullaby.
We woke up, the call of the vast sea, we walked along the beach taking pictures. Cold sea water cooling my feet, like washed all the dust, and worries, exhaustion which could have inadvertently end up on foot in search of livelihood between Saigon hustle this suffocating. Wind blowing messing up hair, slightly wind carries the salty taste of salt on the flesh identify, early afternoon sun shines bright in our faces.

But all that does not affect our joy, passion and record the most beautiful moment, but on the contrary makes everything becomes harmonious backdrop for the photos that character is our mother and daughter. We also contest running on the beach. Both mother and daughter are playing abilities, children, running and hook the mother, the mother ran off the road. We sat on the beach took out his phone and started karaoke. Daughter smiling eyes headline enjoy Mother's software. At first it's so unfamiliar to sing funny but then everything seemed much better.
Late afternoon sun also finished singing, we first got to find something to eat before leaving Gio but luck did not smile at us when coastal restaurants are not open for the weekend not. We pity return to Saigon. Car nearly out of gas, we find gas stations to pour. Find gas stations did not feel where a doctor asked her daughter on the way, this time he showed us, just leaned we could see gas stations, so that we also ask, yes, like your mother 2 My Sassy girl 2.
On the way to the beautiful scenery and fascinating. Standing on the bridge, one side is a romantic sunset, a dim moon party is very funny looks plump and magnificent.

On this visit to Binh Khanh ferry had not been home contempt should test again, this time not to wait as the last ferry medium garment 2 is the last we were on the ferry. Go to Saigon, then transported her daughter to find real shop "poisoning" on Ton Dan Street. But where to find not see forever, daughter saying sure it sells poisoning should go out of business already. So we're through eating oasis, because a girl should pay feasting, mother and son snail dish noodle 1 garlic, bread, 1 plate and 1 dish of oysters baked snails feather duvet. We left satisfied all go home to rest and prepare for the trip Giang Dien Waterfall promises many interesting things are waiting for the mother and child to explore.
