How to get to your boat

Ok,I may already have the illness I usually get AFTER I return from a trip, but I’m loving Cambodia anyway. What wonderful people. Went on a boat ride to a village built in a lake on stilts above the water. When we got to the boat area, our guide told us to get in the boat next to where we were standing because, he said, it was the easiest way to get to the boat we’d be traveling on. So we clambered into one of those shallow draft river boats with a roof to protect us from the sun and sat down thinking it would take us to another boat. Wrong move. We were getting on that boat to climb through its windows to the boat next to it which was actually our boat. How can you not love that?
