Boat stopped so we could enter Vietnam and have bags go through x-ray. Arrived in Chau Doc around 5 hours later. Many boats on the water from small fishing boats to large cargo boats. Jetty conveniently lead straight to a hotel and the room was fine and only $10 so we stayed there. The town was small so anywhere would be fine. In the town centre was a garden with pagodas and along the river was a big market. Not at all a tourist town, this border crossing route has only been open a few years and has not impacted on the town. Breakfast was on the waterfront, good fried eggs here. Looked at the pagoda gardern and then got a bus to Ving Long, further south in the Mekong Delta.
