Shianoukville - Ha tien - Can tho

Caught minibus from Shianoukville to a little town called Kampot where we all got off bus, everyone else was staying there so I waited for bus to the border. There must have been a change of plans as my backpack was taken off the bus and thrown in boot of a car and I was told get in don't worry money. So I got in the car with a little Cambodian family and hoped for the best, it was unclear if this was a family car or a shared taxi? We drove for a while before turning off on a dirt track, was very bumpy and dusty ride for ages, I was a little worried I may end up in the middle of nowhere so I just relaxed and trust everything would be ok. I arrived at the border crossing quite relieved, the border has only recently opened up for tourists so not many people cross there. It was all very straight forward at I already had visa and getting quite used to border crossing. After getting through customs I discovered my ticket stopped there and I would have to pay for a moto bike for 15km trip to Ha tien, I tried to argue that I had bought a ticket to Ha tien but no point, I had to pay or stay at border. Got to Ha tien and was introduced to a guy who was supposedly a travel agent, he told that all boats to Phu Quoc island were full and if I didnt get bus straight away to next town I would be stuck for 3 days as all buses full. Decided to trust the guy so he drove me to bus stop out of town, when the bus arrived they rushed me onto the bus getting me all confused and flustered then charged me 700,000 Dong, which I realised later was almost $50 for a 2 hour trip. Arrived in Rach gia and went in and out of ticket offices discovering that all the boats to Phu quoc were full too, and would be for the next week due to TET. I decided that if that many people were going to the island there would be no chance of accommodation and it would be too busy to relax, so I thought F*$# this and went straight back to bus station and booked ticket to Can tho to see the floating markets. I arrived in Can tho bus station around 9Pm exhausted after a pretty stressful day jumped on the first moto and got a lift into town. Expected to have trouble getting a room with TET madness but found a nice big room, aircon, hot shower and double bed for $10 I took it straight away!
