Christmas Eve 2011 - we arrived from Hong Kong the evening before and stayed at the Renaissance Riverside which happened also to be the pick up point for the 1.5 hours transfer by road to the RV Jahan.
The boat which was only launched in October 2011 only has 26 cabins on two levels with the restaurant and bar on the upper deck. After clearing the port authorities we set off at 1600 heading some 45 kms to Cai Be where the boat moored midstream for the night.
As it was Christmas Eve there was post dinner entertainment for a nearby village including a traditional Vietnamese instrumental trio, some singers and the local magician complete with doves and snakes.
