Chau Doc is a border town, sitting near Cambodia --- in fact, it's possible to catch a boat from here to Phnom Penh with minimal effort or fuss, although the speed boats aren't running yet so it's a 6 hour trip. At night, the streets come alive with young men on motorbikes laden with white goods and cigarettes, though during the day it's a little tired. And that's where we are now, after a thoroughly unmemorable 3 day saunter around the Mekong Delta. Why was this? It could well have to do with the fact that it's been raining, sometimes gently, sometimes hard, for 3 days now.

Bah! On the plus side, it seems as if the weather's broken now because it's starting to get brighter and warmer. We're planning to make a break to the coast and the Phu Quoc islands tomorrow. Until then, I'm going to kill some free time by hopping on the internet and trying to find a working email account. Wish me luck for either of these tasks....
