slow boat to vietnam

---

took a 3 hour cruise on the mekong to reach customs between cambodia and vietnam. i was not happy with cambodia and left early. yesterday, i 'zipped' (see previous entry) to phnom penh on a bus. then i found a great hotel which nearly made me sad to leave, NOT.

today consisted of a 1.5 hour drive to the mekong river port. followed by a nice leisurely 3 hour cruise to customs. a quick, everything is relative, pass through customs followed by another 2 hours in a boat and i am in vietnam. couldn't be easier.

this is a quaint, small, riverine town with plenty of good food. i had shrimp for dinner and think i might hang here a while? it may take some time to explore as most is to be done by water. the mekong delta is HUGE.
