Food glorious food

We've made it to Phnom Penh, after 5 days in Saigon (stuffing ourselves with amazing fruit and food) and a boat trip down the Mekong Delta across the border of Cambodia.



Just before leaving Saigon, we discovered a restaurant called Bo Tung Xeo, which boasts on it's menu an assortment of strange animals (and animal parts) such as Scorpion, Worm, Rat, Snake, and Goat Penis! We weren't feeling adventurous enough this time around, and settled for the BBQ beef which is their specialty. But we will be back in Saigon again before we fly home, so we might be able to let you know whether Rat or Scorpion taste "just like chicken".



Our trip down the Mekong was great, and we got to see a side of Vietnam that we hadn't experienced yet. Floating markets, a Cham minority village, a fish farm village, coconut candy factory, and a crocodile farm. The people in the Mekong area were all really kind, and we spent one night near Can Tho staying with a family who lived right on the river.





The boat trip to Cambodia took us through some remote villages dotted along the Mekong, with houses built high on stilts, and kids running to the shore to wave to the boat as we chugged past. They were all so cute and genuinely excited to see such strange pale skinned people! We're working on getting rid of the moon tan that seemed to attach itself to us as soon as we got back to London from Morocco!



We're now relaxing in Phnom Penh for a few days, before taking on the crowds at Angkor Wat later in the week. Cambodia is beautiful, and the food here (a constant focus of ours!) is also fantastic. It's a bit of a mix between Thai and Vietnamese, so there's lots of spice and colour.
