From Saigon to Phnom Penh


...on a boat.

This was a many-legged voyage. We started in Saigon, and took a bus for 3 hours to get to the Mekong. Then we were on this boat for about 2 hours, stopping to get a tour of a coconut candy factory and a rice paper factory. Then we made a lunch stop, got back on the boat, then got back on a bus to go to Chau Doc, the town where we stayed for night 1.

Day 2: We got up super early and had a tour by row-boat of the floating village and the Cham village (Cham is a Muslim minority group in Vietnam), and then headed toward Cambodia. Many more hours on a boat, followed by a few on a bus, and we were in Phnom Penh.

Sorry to not be more descriptive, but I'm a bit tired today. Here is the first photo album. Enjoy!
