Chau Doc to PP by boat (2/4/09)

Our final morning in Vietnam was an early one. The "fast boat" to Phnom Penh left at 8am, so we gathered our belongings, forced down some questionable breakfast, and took a cyclo to the boat dock. Imagine two not so skinny Americans, with FIVE bags (two suitcases, a camera bag, a backpack, and a day pack) being cycled through town by a MAYBE 110 pound Vietnamese man. Needless to say, the townies were laughing with us.

We boarded the boat and proceeded to enjoy 5 of the most beautiful hours thus far on our trip. The river and its surroundings were just calming and peaceful. Jason was in heaven asea. We also met some very nice people on the boat, which always makes the trip go by faster. I should note that the boat did stop twice, once on the way out of Vietnam and once (10 minutes later) on the way into Cambodia. Pretty funny boarder control. Super lax with machine guns, if that makes sense.
