Today’s ride on Komoot I wanted to get to the beach today but I simply couldn’t be bothered riding another 100km day. So I thought I’d go to Chanthaburi and have a wander and a look around at whatever tourists things they have. I only decided this mid morning, so I booked a hotel and …
Today’s ride on Komoot There were some uphills today. Nothing spectacular, but I doubt that I’ve been up any hills since getting to Song Cau in Vietnam. I headed into Aranyaprathet for a coffee and a very early second breakfast (after this morning’s muesli). So nice, that I didn’t want to leave but realised that …
Today’s ride on Komoot – to PoipetToday’s ride on Komoot – around Aranyaprathet I made it out of the hotel and to the Chao Doi coffee shop next door. A massive effort before sitting down to coffee and waffles. Both were fantastic. I’m still trying to think of the last time I had waffles but …
It wasn’t easy to leave the luxury of the hotel in Siem Reap but the incentive is to finish this trip, as I’m entering the last two weeks. I rode through the town past the markets and continued to notice the improvements they’ve made here. It’s very nice but it feels less and less like …
Today was anything but a rest day, even after a slow start. I’ve always been absolutely mesmerised by Angkor Wat, so I decided to go and wander around it again. There weren’t as many tourists as I expected and that’s a good thing. It’s a funny place to visit in that you can decide what …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had a fairly early start mainly because I had no idea where breakfast was coming from. First item on the agenda was the old 12th century bridge in town. It’s still in use albeit only for bicycles, motorbikes and pedestrians. It’s built from latterite with no adhesives, so it’s held …
Today’s ride on Komoot Part of me was tempted to ride the 140-150 kms to Siem Reap, but if I did that, I may as well have caught the bus. I’m glad I didn’t as Kampong Kdei was a nice place to hang out. I had breakfast at the hotel, purely for convenience, and then …
I woke up at 8:30am. Wow, what a sleep in. I must have needed it, so I decided to have an easy day today. The town of Kampong Thom wasn’t far away. That still leaves me with two simple days to Siem Reap where I’ll have another rest day. And there’s a nice hotel with …
It was good to be leaving Phnom Penh. The hotel was nice but really, the city isn’t much. I left to the north and went over to the river on the way. Then it was over the bridge and into Highway 6 which I’ll be on or close to for the next four days. I’m …
Part 1 of Today’s ride on Komoot Part 2 of Today’s ride on Komoot Still nowhere near 100% but ok for a pancake flat 75 into Phnom Penh. The day started very slowly and drizzly, so I stayed at the hotel, went to the coffee shop for breakfast and waited out the rain. When it …
