Foray

Just got back from a bicycle foray around Siem Reap. I remember coming here for the first time during my travels in 2008 and cycling forever in the hot sun in search of the Vietnamese floating village on the Tonle Sap river. Looked on the map this morning and worked out I must have cycled at least 25 km. Which was all very exciting back then, if a little ooer seeing as I'd completely misjudged the distances and thought it would only take an hour or so. Not wanting to repeat what turned into a 4 hour epic, today I've just ambled about, re-visiting memorable spots and enjoying the sights, sunny breeziness and lack of mad traffic.

So glad to have landed somewhere calm this time. My body clock's all over the place and it's taking a while to adjust. Having slept for 12 hours the first night, I didn't sleep at all the second. Then 14 hours the third and 5 last night. So I'm slightly discombobulated but enjoying the space to re-combobulate, whenever that may be.
