Breakfast - fried rice and banana smoothie a much needed protein and calorie increase from the white bread, jam and fruit salad of the day before.
Yeah, so the time had finally come to be issued our trusty steads that would be our mode of transport for the next three weeks and everyone was excited! Once we arrived at the PEPY house to pick up our gear the girls in the group were a little side tracked by the colorful display of hipsters which are fabric wrap around money belts! Needless to say I purchased one :)
This was the first time in about two years that I had been on a mountain bike and it took some getting use to but once I had my rhythm I realized that I missed the freedom and adrenalin associated with riding a mountain bike and how much you can give it relative to a road bike- we were trail riding for most of the day and I was pumped. Unfortunately due to the lack of breakfast that most people had had the stop at Preah Khan was not that appreciated due to the hunger pains starting to kick in. However, this was one of my favorite temples with such intricate halls and rooms.
We had a well needed and deserved lunch, I opted out of the afternoon ride which was another 40kms due to the fact that I hadn't been on a bike for about 8 weeks and not on a mountain bike for 2 years plus it was another 12kms back to Siem Reap.
Internet is slow and very frustrating hence the lack of blogging going on at the moment - never fear though I am taking notes and will be sure to update once I find a connecting that isn't going to make me want to pull my hair out :)
Jen, Sara and I headed out for a FANTASTIC vegetarian dinner with a real Indian man had a mango lassi and was well satisfied afterward when we headed to the pub for some drinks and pool action.
It is sad to see tourists with indecent abusive shirts in countries where foreigners actions are taken as a precedent.
Still not getting a good nights sleep - and you all know what happens to me with no sleep!!!!
