Chau Doc- Crossing border between Cambodia and Vietnam
We thought that we would update everyone on how our trip is going, considering we don’t have access to Facebook in Vietnam, the government has put a block on it :-(. Last Wednesday we did a border crossing from Cambodia into Vietnam via the Mekong river. We ended our 8 hour journey in Chau Doc. In Chau Doc we stayed in a horrible little floating hotel- it was so dirty!- We were so relieved to finally leave and head to Saigon. We only spend one night in Saigon before heading to Mui Ne – which is pretty much a tourist resort place, however there are some very cool things to see here. We will be doing a whole blog post of Mui Ne as we really love it here 🙂
We have been receiving lots of emails from current brides and brides inquiring. – If you need to contact us or have an inquiry feel free to send us an email we certainly don’t mind!
Here are just a few images from the last few days!! We will be blogging lots more in the coming two weeks because as I mentioned there is no facebook 😦

- Chau Doc is a fishing village. Everywhere you look there are fishing boats.
-
- A mobile florist. The flowers are really beautiful here!!
-
- Mike took this image on our way up to Sam Mountain on the back of a moto. I look really pro sitting side saddle LOL!
-
- Not sure what animals these skulls would be from?
-
- How beautiful are the colours in this image?
-
- The main difference we noticed with the houses in Vietnam compared to Cambodia is that they are built up on metal and concrete stilts rather than timber, well is this part anyway.
-
- These ladies are off to the markets to sell there produce.
-
- The fish seems to be dried – it didn’t smell just looked unsual.
-
- This lady wasn’t begging, she was just sitting on the side of the road. I thought is was amusing as it was such a busy street and she was just sitting there!
-
- On the side of Sam Mountain there is a Buddhist Pagoda. Mike loved this image of the Monk coming out to take in the view.
-
- Thanks to the lovely French tourist for this image of us eating noddles.
-
- On our first day in Mui Ne we hired bikes for $2 each and headed into town…. we will be posting lots more images of Mui Ne as we just love it!
