At 8am we started our 5 hr journey to north of the country,Siem Reap. Drove through stunning countryside...every house n farm is set out perfectly with animals at the front,lotus n lily ponds,hay bales n the house on stilts. It never stopped all the way up. Cambodia has so much more open space, is cleaner n far more beautiful...a lot to do with having only 20% of the population of V'nam n similar size landless. Not seen scenery or villages like this before in A...

First impressions of Cambodia. Cleaner n more western than Vietnam. Considering their war ended far more recently than Vietnam, you wouldn't know it had happened in Phnom Penh, the capital. The people are like the Vietnamese friendly n smiley but the city is nowhere near as busy or manic as Saigon or Hanoi.

We have finally arrived to our last port of call in Vietnam, Chau Doc, which is a small border town built on a dam on the Mekong Delta. We spent previous day driving through the Mekong to Can Tho, the capital of the Delta with 2500 people living in a city which is based around it's floating water market...not a favourite for us, didn't have buzz of a city, a bit like Norwich! Hotel had seen better times as well. After boat trip to see floating Market (we couldn'...

I enjoyed chatting to the very friendly locals n had my own private boat for a cruise up the Delta . It was very peaceful n beautiful. We stopped off at a number of local businesses on the waterway. A brick factory (25p per day wages to make bricks all day!), coconut candy factory (£1 to peel 1800 coconuts per day!) n fin...

Bravery n survival have always been a couple of my strongest qualities and believe me I needed them in spades as I was left alone to cross the Mekong Delta. Thankfully a local photographer was with me to witness my epic trek which included me crossing rat infested waters up to my waist, fighting off snakes n local people...(trust no one was my way of survival!) using two types of boat, stealing local transport n utilising cunning disguises to blend into the vil...
