Today we left Chau Doc took a boat to Cambodia!
We were picked up from our hotel by cycle tuktuk to take us to the river where we caught our speed boat.
It was a fairly short journey to the border post where we first had to go through the Vietnamese border controls, then back on the boat for 5 minutes and then through the Cambodian border controls.
It sounds quick but all in all it took a couple of hours to get through.
Following this we spent another couple of hours on the boat until we reached Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.
I wasn’t well that day and it was a bit of an ordeal for me, though I think the others quite liked the experience.
It was noticeably hotter when we got onto dry land and we had to drag our luggage up a long pier following a taxi man who had our biggest case – “follow that man Sam” I said!
It was lovely to finally reach our first stop, the Blue Corner Hotel.
