After our trip down the Mekong we ended up in Chau Doc, a smallish border town on the river. We were super excited to be in a new country and were surprised to notice differneces right away even though we were only a few miles from Cambodia. They use Roman script for their writing here so at first glance the signs almost make sense, but then you realize it's all Vietnamese. The architecure was a bit different as well.

We woke up at our Phnom Penh hotel at 6:30 in the morning to grey, drizzling skies. What I thought was perfect weather for a covered slow boat ride to Vietnam. The Mekong is one of the world's great rivers and we were both incredibly excited about seeing it.
