Siem Reap – April 7th, 2017
Apr 13th, 2017 by rallyadmin
Another day with the usual problems with assorted bikes
Our second group made it to Kampong Cham at just about sunset. They’d managed to see the Bamboo Bridge and make it to Kampong Thom with only one deluge slowing them. Quite an accomplishment.
Today, it’s more of the same. Up early with intentions of starting early. Then the day’s bike problems emerge and we’re off to find a repair shop. We finally get everyone going in assorted splinter groups on the road to Siem Reap, about 150 kms up the road.
The schedule had been to spend two days in Siem Reap. (You couild probably spend a week
here.) But the problems of keeping the bikes going and doing some long runs resulted in the unplanned stay in Kampong Cham for the lead group and an additional night in Phnom Penh for the second group.
A short day by this trips standards. And dry. And arriving before dark. What could be better? (Our standards are already sinking to meet reality. This usually happens later in the trip.)
Up to a room. Lay under the air-con. Recover. Book a guided trip to Angkor. Out to the pool for blog writing and a couple of beer. Dinner and bed.
Obi-wan
