We cycled about an hour up the Mekong to the best spot for dolphin viewing. Boat was a bit expensive with just 2 so we decided...

Most of the time was taken up seeing the main sights the city has to offer, popular tourist spots such as the killing fields and the s21 museum are essential to learn more about the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge.
