Vietnam-Cambodia, Day One: Getting There

For some reason I forgot how big the world is.

The thing is, the far east is hardly the furthest place I've been to, and yet for some reason this journey felt like it was lasting forever. Perhaps it was due to how early we set off - which seemed somewhat futile considering we're still going to arrive on Sunday, the next day.

But yes, Vietnam at last. I don't think I've ever booked a trip so far in advance - we had the tickets a fair few months ago, but it's been in my to-travel list for a fair number of years. And it didn't seem like I was alone: since we booked I have met a new person every couple of weeks who had recently been to Vietnam. So not as exotic or exclusive really... but at least we had lots and lots of tips.
