I hired a grandma bike (with Basket, carrier and dynamo on the wheel) and went for a bike ride ... ended up covering around 80kms.
I went to see more temples about 18kms to the east.
Took a couple of pictures on the way.
A farmer...
A girl playing in the park...
Some kids playing on the river bank...
I finally got to the temples.This is part of the Ro Lous group of temples...
I had a hassle with the guy at the front checking day passes. Mine was expired.He told me I couldn't go in, so I said OK and walked out. I was taking pictures out the front and the fellow came and told me I couldn't take pictures either.. I told him I could take pictures and I will. I walked out to the street and took more pictures and he came out very upset. He called on his radio to the people at the next temple and they were ready for me there. When I got there a guy came up and stood in front of me and the temple to block my view.. not that I worried.. I had already taken some pictures around the corner out of their sight.
They were not that spectacular anyway, they had scaffolding all around them for renovation..
I then rode the bike south for a bit and the further east and then to the north. A lot of the people in this back area were really nice, nearly all of them were waving and saying hello as I rode my bike past.. they would not see a lot of tourists through this region.. was really nice. I got back to the main highway and the started my way back to town having lunch on the way.While eating my fried rice and veggies for lunch I had to take a photo of this guy driving his car around the corner...
He mustn't have had enough room in his boot for his spare tyre.As I was heading back to my guest house for a rest I saw an English couple who were just hiring their bikes. They asked me to join them on a ride south to the lake, I said OK silly me after I have just ridden 50k's. Got to the lake and there were people in all sorts of housing there.
Boats...
Floating houses...
Interesting area.we rode back to the guest house late in the afternoon and I had a couple of beers and relaxed a bit.
Went out to a place where they had some Khmer dancers...
The carvings in the temples show the dancers really twist their feet and toes and fingers a lot and also they do not cover their belly. These girls had their belly's covered... how disappointing!!!
