A hapless paddy on tour

The trip to the Mekong delta started early as with all the trips. After 2 hour's of driving we hit for a boat and a cruise down the river. along the way we saw rice paper being made, a fruit farm, some minority village's and of course the floating markets. The Dutch girls stayed with me for the first two days before heading back to Saigon. The plan on the last day was to take the fat boat to Cambodia. The fast boat to Phnom Penn was cancelled so I ended up taking the slow boat . Although the boat was uncomfortable the scenery more than made up for it. We ambled through a tributary passing many little village's along the way. The day was sunny and the kids all waved throughout the journey. The border crossing was relatively painless and we reached Cambodia at 5, ready to take a bus the 2 hour trip to Phenom Penn. Immediately you could tell the difference between Cambodia and Laos. The countryside was a lot poorer and strewn with litter. Within 35ks of PP we came across a body dead on
the road. The Victims face and chest were covered in blood which was a rather alarming site. beside the victim lay his motorbike and some villagers. It looked as if they were waiting for the police but the guy definitely looked dead. When i arrived I checked in to the Happy Guest house where the dutch girls and the Ozzie girls were staying. I had a few beers and retired to bed fairly early.
