We got our bus this morning for our 6 and a half hour journey into Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. The bus was one of the better ones we have caught during the trip, we got handed some water as we got on and as it was really quiet we got two seats each. After about 3 hours we arrived at the border, we already had our visas so the rest of the process didn't take very long. We got off the bus and had to walk into a building where they scanned our bags (the previous two bo...

We were up again far too early, 5.30am and caught the first bus after a quick breakfast at 6am. We returned to the capital Phnom Penh at around 1pm quickly grabbed lunch and boarded a dirty bus, with dripp...
