14 hours on a bus to Laos

Once the 5 of us (Monica, Meagan, Mike, Brent and I) all arrived in Siem Reap, our fist big decision was when and how to get to Laos.  Our only choice for mode of transportation was bus, but we needed to decide whether to stop mid-way to break up the long ride (and possibly increase our chances to see the Irrawaddy Dolphin) or push through and take the 14 hour bus ride all the way to Si Phan Don (4000 Islands).  We all chose the latter.

5:30AM bus to 4000 Island.

Kampong Cham where we changed buses 4.5 hours into our 14 hour ride.

Finally reaching the Cambodia/Laos border around 530PM.

Looking toward Laos.  Only 2 more hours to our destination!
