Premier Inn Day 1

 This is really a test to see if the notifications are sent to those who are following this blog. We have had a most unappetising meal at Premier Inn and now in our room watching similarly bland television- 

Plane tomorrow at 11

Day 50 Svay Leu (Boojie glamping pod)

 In the Tour de France the penultimate day is the last day of racing proper with the final day just being a procession into Paris- racing done and celebrate the three hard weeks in the saddle. Today being our penultimate day to our final tour destination felt a little like that feeling - work done and look forward to that feeling of accomplishment on the final day's ride. Some random thoughts about Cambodia, the people are humble and many are poor but they are always welcoming, courteous and smiley. What I found staggering was every home we passed whether close to the road or some distance from it, we could hear the shouts of 'hello' from small children and upon our reply we would hear the sound of distant laughter. We have not figured out how they are aware of our approach but it is uncanny that we cannot go unnoticed- maybe they have better eyesight, hearing or even sense of smell but they always spot the westerner and send us on our way smiling at their beautiful smiles ...

Day 53 Angkor Wat

 Temple Day!  I researched the numerous blogs on line and found a suggested cycle route for a day tour. The temples are quite far apart so we knew we would just see a few but hopefully we would remember them.  With another 36 degree heat looming, we left at 7.30am after Mr Buns scrumptious breakfast of pancake and fruit. Angkor Wat was our first stop. Built in the 12th century, and described as a hindu- Buddhist temple, it is huge and magnificent. Thousands come here each morning for sunrise, but not wanting the crowds or the early start, we found the numbers fine at this later time. After a chilled stroll around and a cold drink we cycled onto the next temple. All the temples we saw were subtly different in size, construction, level of condition and degree to which they had been restored. One in particular was known as the temple with trees growing out of it. We overheard one guide saying at this temple that if a seed takes root within the walls, this is now removed to p...

Day 55 Pub Street

 Pancakes, fruit and coffee for breakfast chez Mr Bun and then packed our gear up for our last cycle with panniers to a central hotel in Siem Reap that I booked back in December.  Waited for the girls to finish morning school to say goodbye, although we are dropping Pete's bike off there tomorrow afternoon and staying for a meal so will see them again,  and set off. Our room at Blossoming  Roundel Boutique was very depressing- dull orange, dark, little view! Very disappointing as the photos had looked so good! We counted up the money we had left - thought it was plenty for 2 days but then bought 2 Man City shirts for Mr Bun and Champion, in the market,  a case of beer to take them and lunch out and that was us just about wiped out!  Lazy afternoon by the pool and saw what looked like much nicer rooms with balconies. Enquired and for $2 more per night, we could move into one the next morning.  Booked onto a cookery course for tomorrow in pub street- yep...
