Rather than rush off to the temples of Angkor on the first day we decided to soak up the city. I followed my nose one morning to the amazing outskirts of this tourist town and came across a quad biking adventure thing. After biking around the cosmopolitan centre and not so cosmo outer reaches in the afternoon, Megan and I went back and did the Quad thing. We will never regret that. It unlocked rural Cambodia to us, the most memorable place on our trip yet.
The photos here are from that ride, plus the extra day at the end when we took mountain bikes out there on our own and met the locals. Above, this dude took us to his house and cut us down some young coconuts for us to eat and drink. They are a good way to replenish the minerals lost by sweating all the time. He showed us in his house (hut on stilts) too, which had a red tv rigged up to 2 car batteries.
How Dr Suess are those hay stacks!
This photos out of place, but our guest house restauraunt was on the 3rd level and the kitchen on the ground, so orders went sailing down a cable, and meals were cranked back up on this trolley.
A store where we bought candy to rot the teeth of jubilant little Kampuchean kids tirading you with 'HELLO's!!!'
Volleyball is big here, and theres always money on the games. I tried to join in but I sucked.
Frog Squeeze. "No animals were harmed..."
