Another early start this morning which wasn’t ideal after a night on the beer. I am so looking forward to a lie in.

We went to have breakfast at the same place we ate last night – it was breakfast Cambodian style and it was delicious.

After breakfast we hopped back on the coach for what should have been a 20 minute journey to Tonle Sap but ended up being an hour and a half. This was because plans changed, the water in the lake wasn’t high enough for the boat to come in where we were originally going to get it from. The coach couldn’t actually get down the road to the boat as the road was flooded so we had to walk the last little bit with all the provisions.

The boat wasn’t quite as expected but we all got on and off we went. Tonle Sap is the largest lake in South East Asia and has UNESCO biosphere status.

These were some of the views as we headed out into the lake.

The journey across the lake took around 5 hours and we weren’t travelling particularly slowly! I managed to sleep a couple of times for around half an hour each time.

Shortly after we started out on the lake we stopped to pick up some ice.

The guys had ordered some beers for the boat trip (around 96) but I couldn’t really face it. About two thirds into the journey the beer ran out – so further supplies miraculously appeared, organised by Heng, our local guide. It was wierd, we were right in the middle of the lake and suddenly a boat pulls up alongside us and offloads some crates of beer. I think between the group we drank 146 beers.

The lake was huge but we all had a good time sailing across it and occasionally you would pass other boats or small bunches of houses.

We were due to dock at Kampong Khlaeng but as the route had changed we docked at Kampong Dhong instead.

When we got out of the boat it was a little walk to pick up the bikes, in the heat though it felt really long. Some of the group managed to get a lift in a truck.

We cycled then from the lake to Siem Reap- only around 30km. For a lot of the group it felt longer as beer consumption had been quite high. As we cycled down the roads we had to avoid cows, water buffalo, chickens, digs, people, mopeds and other cyclists!

The hotel in Siem Reap was really nice again. This time we had 3 people to a room so Sherrien joined Ali and I.

We had time to have a shower and get changed before we headed downstairs for dinner. Dinner was more delicious Cambodian food, although the pudding was a little strange.

Most of us had an earlyish night but Adam and Jeremy decided to go out and hit the town, something they probably regretted the next morning!
