To get from Vietnam to Cambodia we decided on a bit of luxury. We booked a tour and cruised along the mighty Mekong river before catching a speedboat into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.
Our boat, the 'Mekong Eyes' was an old rice barge. With only 4 of us on board it was more than adequate!!
We stopped along the way to visit some local families and taste some delicious fruit. This girls family were very friendly, Steph even received a tap on the bum and a squeeze on the arm (perhaps this was payment for the photo!!).
The food, again, was amazing, and even after polishing off a few bottles of wine with our new travel buddies, Rosie and Vicky, we still managed to look out of our cabin window at 5am for the sunrise!
Later that day we visited a floating market, where the sellers displayed their wares on a flagpole. It was amazing to see the hustle and bustle of river life, whilst we glided past on our motorised fishing boat!
After this we stayed in a really nice hotel in Chau Doc before catching a speedboat for the 5 hour trip to Phnom Penh!
Think I could cope with this river cruise, going to have to get details from you...
