Vietnam to Cambodia

An 8 hour bus ride was needed to get across to Cambodia, which we only now know was during Khmer New Year, making moving around and buying stuff even more challenging. We expect a boring an uneventful trip, but with a strange boarder crossing, a stop off at a hospital to treat one of our fellow passengers who appeared to be having some kind of fit and a sudden realisation that at some point our bus had driven onto a river ferry with people selling dead frogs in baskets, it was anything but boring.

The step to Cambodia showed a vast difference in buildings with Cambodians seeming to all live in Shanty town style houses, in an ad-hoc 'shed on stilts' aesthetic. The next few day will be interesting.
