We took a boat through the Mekong Delta to get to Phnom Penh. We stayed overnight in a floating hotel near Chau Doc and then took a "fast boat" to Phim Penh. the trip was good - we saw lots of the delta from the river - but it does get a bit monotonous after a few hours. The riverside is mostly farmland and some small wooden settlements. On the first evening our boat ran aground and another boat had to be called to tow us. The propellor was damaged so the other boat had to tow us all the way to the floating hotel.
The borders were uneventful - it just takes a while to go throught hr formalities. The Cambodian visa cost us US$22 each.
