Cần Thơ & Ho Chi Minh City

Day 49 / Day 8 of ATID – border crossing and journey to Cần Thơ 

So this was the day we crossed over the border into Vietnam, again by private bus to the border itself and then on foot, before getting on another private bus on the other side. The border crossing was from Bavĕt to Mộc Bái and was similar to the last, only this time we had all got our visas in advance. It did involve a fair bit of walking in the sun and lots of checking over of things by far more staff than I think were truly needed, and we did each pay up one dollar to speed up the process (ahem), but there weren’t any issues per se.
