Cycling Cambodia - Day 26 -



I made it to Siem Reap! 

Well over 1000km, national parks, moonlit mudbaths with drunk police officers, offers of having my feet sucked, drive-by proposals of "boombooms", sunrises at ancient mountain temples, snoozing under waterfalls, avoiding rainstorms AND I FINALLY MADE IT! 

Hopefully, the pictures speak for themselves but I don't feel they do any justice for the adventure. When I have the chance I'll give a bit more descriptive writing. But for now, here are some photos and know as I'm typing this I have a smile on my face.

Cycling Cambodia- Day 11. What Goes Up, Must Come Down (thank goodness)

After the 800m climb to get to Sen Monorom and a short stay, the winding mountain roads took me down through Mondulkiri Province, through national parks and thunderstorms and misty mornings to my current location in Ratanakiri!


Vietnamese noodle soup with tofu. ~I think I'm in heaven.

Day 7 - Rest Day - Well Deserved Putang

Finally made it!! What a struggle that was. I'm now sitting at roughly 800metres above sea level...bladdyellll my legs are KILLING ME and you don't appreciate that phrase until you then have to use a squat toilet when your here. Last nights abode saw me sleeping in a small house next to a Power Station, the only shelter I found an hour in each direction...talk about luck.
The stilt houses of the Mekong Trail have been left behind as I'm greeted with green, rolling hills and a crisp chill in the air. A rest day today to explore some waterfalls. I can't believe I made it here!

Cycling Cambodia - Day 5 -300km

Resting in the rain, swerving snakes, and rolling over hills.

I'v'm having a fantastic time on my journey and I'm over 10% of the way done now. As I  wait at the bottom of the incline up the biggest mountain of my trip (800m above sea level). Here's a few photos from the journey so far.
