Two choices lay open to us as to how we would enter Cambodia, one was to take a bus which would take us to Phnom Penh directly, the other was to take the boat up the Meokong river, which seemed like a far cooler way to do the crossing!
Our boat ride took us up to a small border crossing where we had to get off the boat to get our passports stamped, once this was done we walked to another boat which would take us to Cambodia. The journey took around 4 hours, but was a most enjoyable experience! As we ventured up the River, it was immediately clear that Cambodia was different than Vietnam, the land is flatter, we saw huge beautiful tempels with monks standing at the side of the river, and hundreds of cows grazed looking out at us lazily. I think the best part was probably the kids, who after hearing the engine of the boat, ran out to wave at us from their houses - we must have waved at hundreds!
It was a wonderful trip, everyone relaxed around our boat reading, sleeping and taking photos of the new land we were slowly approaching.
