epilogue
Last day in the saddle. It was time to split from the boys from spain. they turned out to be great guys and really live for these off road trips around the world. They headed for the thai border at Preah Vihear and i headed back to siam reap with one of Paul's guys, Mr. Slim. Beautiful country, lots of palms and rice paddies. All in all about 600km of riding. I needed to get back because i wanted to spend a day at angkor wat and i had somebody waiting for me in LOS/
Truly a great adventure and bigs props to Paul and his guys. Highly, highly recommended. Just ask Paul about the condition of the bikes because they truly go thru hell. He's trying to get some newer bikes but it's tough to get bikes and parts into Cambo. Two most important things for the bike - a working horn and a decent knobby.
Mr. Slim and I spent a day touring angkor wat. One of the wonders of the world as far as i'm concerned. If you go, get a guide, they can explain the stories and keep you away from the tour bus crowd. I will certainly go back to cambo and spend a week doing a tour of PP to the southern coast (Kampot, Kep, and Snooky). I'll rent a bike and cruise on my own and ride up to bokor which is supposed to be cool. If anyone has ridden this area I'd like to know more.
Eventually made my way back to LOS and headed up to Chiang Mai with one friend and then over to singapore with another. No details but both nice ladies that i've known for a while. There had to be some women in this trip report after all.
