Kampong Chhnang to Pursat along Hw5. Traffic isn't too hard, but it seems all busdrivers are still assholes as they keep thundering by at insane speeds, not even trying to dodge cars, motorcycles, bikes or lifestock. KC to Pursat is about 94km, an earlier stop is possible at Krakor (close to kompuong long floating village) but we left early at 7am to bike a bit in the cooler morning sun so we pushed on to pursat in 1 go. Along the way Line counted the "hello's" we get from kids & others...she stopped at 300! Ardan got 1 "I love you" as well...hey, I look like Brad Pitt, what do you expect? ;-)

Pursat, cambodia's orange county. The fruitbasket of the country (especially oranges) & emerging gateway to the northern part of Cardamon mountains...actually considering if we should visit them or not. Tasted something new today, a root thing found in the woods that tastes like a mix of patato & chestnut. A gift from some stall for on the road snacking.

A quick rest in our luxury hotel (7usd/night ;-)) and we set on a walk through Pursat. A small, sleepy riverside town with a artificial island in the river alla sentosa island in singapore, except its shaped as a huge tanker?? Strange...but lots of people go there for their arobics & gaming. Very relaxed vibe.

  1. Wil er ook zo tevreden en ontspannen uitzien als jullie beiden. Maar het komt er aan, leuk om peyo ook nog eens te zien. Cambodianen lijken zeer vriendelijke mensen.
