Chau Doc & Sam Mountain

---

Once again, less words and more pictures. I visted Chau Doc and Sam mountain over the next day. Chau Doc lies close to the Cambodian border and it is a popular stop for those travelling to\from Cambodia.

Long Xuyen
Acutally this one is at the crocodile farm at Long Xuyen. Crocs don't really exist in Mekon anymore, all eaten up by the Vietnamese so they have to be especially bred for their skin and meat which is considered a delicacy.

Sam Mountain
More of a hill then a mountain really. You can see it over the horizon. These guys decided to climb it on foot... as for me, I had an alternative form of transportation (see next pic)

Sam Mountain
Xe Om (motocycle taxi) it up!

Sam Mountain
This boy insisted on getting into the picture with me. Oh, thats Cambodia over the horizon BTW.

Chau Doc
Typical street in the town.

Victoria Chau Doc Hotel
has a great pool which I swarm at for free by pretending to be a guest :)

Fishing House
These houses sit on empty barrels floating in the Mekong. They have nets under the water to farm fishes. Here are some inhabitants of the house transporting the fishes.
