Leaving Vietnam on motorbikes and a red road




On the last day of my visa for Vietnam we left this beautiful country via a land border crossing going to Cambodia that only a year ago was opened for foreign travelers. We were expecting a lot of questions and for sure some bribery. But in the end it was all dead easy as long as you keep a smile on your face, ask a couple of words in the local language and do not wonder why you have to queue up at thee different points and pay a little here and a little there. For example for a health check that summed up to the question: "Do you feel ill?" you pay 20 000 dong (about 1 Eur).

After we managed all that bureaucratic stuff we were rewarded with a trip through a beautiful landscape entering Cambodia with a smile and surprise. See for yourself:
