2nd December: Leaving Vietnam for Cambodia

I have been writing for quite a while now so I will make this my last post for the night!

Looking over to Cambodia from Sam Mountain near Chau Doc

We entered Cambodia on the 2nd December after catching the fast boat from Chau Doc. After reading about the visa scams at the border we were clued up enough to pay the correct $20 fee, we were only 2 of 4 people on the boat who did so. The other passengers paid $24, the extra of which goes straight in to the pockets of the boat conductor and passport control officer. It was a bit of a struggle but handily enough there is a sign above the desk that says 'tourist visa: $20', so we pointed at this every time they asked for more. This gave us a little boost of achievement before we entered the massive city of Phnom Penh.
