... seems excessive until you figure out that it's only US$10.
We had actually splashed to the ATM because the heavens had opened and the downpour was showing no obvious sign of ending, so half of us decided in the interests of safety to chicken out of the motorbike ride. In fact the rain did stop fairly soon afterwards and those who went enjoyed it.
Chau Doc has little to recommend it so we weren't sorry to pile on to the bus at ...
