Killing fields of Choeung Ek ( Display of 8000 skulls of Victims from 17'000 killed at this site)


12. November 2009 Phnom Penh to Takeo 82 km / Total 800km
A late start in Phnom Penh and a very long lunch with an even longer siesta at a famous lake were responsible for the late arrival at Takeo after dark. (ie. 18:00).

13. November 2009 Takeo to Kampong Trach 75 km / Total 875km
After a very early start at 05:30, we arrived after 75 km at 12:00 at Kampong Trach. We checked in at a nice guesthouse and the whole afternoon we spent in Kep, a nice beach town some 20km away. We had some great dinner in Kep. Steamed Crab with spicy hearbs.


Very nice dinner in Kep


14. November 2009 Kampong Trach to Ha Tien ( Vietnam) 31km. Total 906km.
The first flat tyre repaired today on my bike. We had some 22km dirt road and made it without proplem into Vietnam to the border-town called Ha Tien. Immigration at the Vietnam border charged 1 US$ in order to fill out the health questionnaire, which made Monica very upset, because they won't gave her a receipt.
