I always say that travel is always as adventurous as the destination and this was no different.
I woke up in Phu Quoc, Vietnam Airbnb where I spent the last five days. I was packed and ready for the day:
1. Uber/Grab to the ferry terminal to catch my 9 AM 90-minute ferry to Hua Hin, Cambodia.
2. 10-minute Uber/Grab to the bus terminal for the shuttle to the Cambodian border. There was an awesome group of traveller that fought through the same cirumstances like champs too!
3. Two hours in the Cambodia immigration office sweating my balls off.
4. 60-minute shuttle to Kampot where most of the passengers were headed.
5. 115-minute Tuk-tuk to another bus station where my shuttle to Phnom Penh was waiting.
6. Two and a half hours to Phnom Penh.
7. Tuk-tuk to Airbnb – The host would not reply so I could not check in.
8. Amazing mango salad and 75-cent drafts figuring out my next step.
9. Tuk-tuk to the amazing poolside hostel where studio rooms are $2.
How is that for an adventurous day and 100% winning at the end of a brutal day!!
What a rush not knowing if things would work out each step of the way!
