Dead flat country, friendly locals and not a lot of traffic. The Mekong Delta is as flat as a pancake. The only uphill bits are the slightly rising and falling bridges over the many rivers and canals, so expect to cruise along in top gear most of the time. The main roads between the major towns are paved and in reasonable nick, but watch out for potholes. The secondary roads are generally gravel, and of varying condition.
