Vietnam

Day: 67
Countries: 7
Stops: 25


Two minivans took us to the Cambodia-Vietnam border, and this border seems more normal, although security and organization still seemed much more lax than the Singapore-Malaysia or Malaysia-Thailand borders. Then it's a quick minivan trip to Chau Doc, on the Mekong Delta. First order of business was a boat trip on the Mekong Delta, where we got to see (another) floating village. Then a motorbike ride up Sam Mountain for sunset! It was a fun ride, with lots of photo stops along the way. the last leg of the ride was pretty crazy as well with sharp uphill turns on a speeding motorbike! The sunset was also very pretty, and we stayed to have a drink at the top of the mountain before heading down and visiting a local pagoda on the way back to the hotel.
