well well here's what we've been up to since our last installment...in a nutshell we have
- cycled 400kms or so from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh
- explored the temples of Angkor by bike over 3 days...awesome!
- cycled in the wet and rain twice, both times my bike got really muddy and both times my brakes stopped working...not good
- ate 7 or so meals, all of which we had no idea what we were eating...as a result aux spent 3 days getting familiar with our guesthouse toilet
- visited a massive floating village where everything from houses, local supermarkets, restaurants, and even petrol stations were all afloat on the Tonle' Sap lake
- ate at a remote restaurant where we were sure we were surrounded by the mafia and/or ex Khmer Rouge
- did a tour on the back of motorbikes to see how the locals make money...fish factory, rice mill, rice paper making, rice noodle making, and numerous other things made from rice...best part was the fruity rice wine...mmmmm.
- saw the Killing Caves in the north where the Khmer Rouge threw people into during their reign of terror
- watched a few movies on hbo channel, fun and games, and even watched some CNN to see whats been going on in the world
- a few days ago we had our first real meal after being on the road...yuuum curry, pizza, burgers, and an interesting interpretation of caesar salad
- saw the Killing Fields and prison S-21 where thousands of people were killed and tortured under Pol Pots regime...depressing
- played a few rounds of Snap with a kid on the street
well thats it i'll leave the rest up to aux :) who is currently riding around Phnom Penh with our crazy motocycle driver trying to find a place where he can repair my front disc in hopes that i'll be able to brake sometime in the near future. ok love you all long time
Lissa xx oo
