OK, sorry it's been a while but we got kinda bored & side tracked by beaches & diving..... We decided to take a 2 day trip on 'that' river (I'm beginning to think there's only 1 in this part of the world...) which conveniently gets us over the Vietnamese border to Phnom Pehn. It started off lovely with a brief minivan journey & a pretty decent Engrish speaking guide. After a boat trip across the river we first went to a Coconut can...

Given that our last experience of a major Vietnamese city was less than impressive, this was a nice surprise. We managed to get one of the cheapest rooms so far, but also one of the nicest. A little guest house down an alley way that you would even realise was there! So we went to the War Remnants museum which has a whole heap of stuff left over from the Americans leaving, some good, some bad. We went for a walk to the more upmarket district & i finally got ...

Mui Ne consists of 1 road, or 2 if you consider that you can go North or South on it.... Said road is about 10 - 12km long & lined most of the way with bungalow style guesthouses.

The beach was nice & for a small price you can hire a lounger in a cordoned off area where the vendors can't get you!! Some nice bars too.... Onwards & downwards

Ok, so after a pleasant 5 hour bus journey down the coach the helpful bus driver decided to take us on a tour of whichever guesthouses were paying him the most!! We thought we were much better & decided to set off on foot to find somewhere. After about 20 minutes we ended up almost back where we started! It did have a pool though/ And a happy hour. I went & got a suit made for the princely sum of $41 and 3 shirts for about the same price... Jonno they're on the...
