87 kms, ave 14,5, total 712 kms.
The Wildlife guys told me about the road ahead and said I could find a guest house at Sre Ambel. The first 40 kms still had some hills, but after the second bridge it was flatter.
I passed the Sre Ambel bridge and asked for a guest house. They pointed me off to the right on a mud track along the river. It was still another 4 kms to go before I reached the actual village, or town maybe. Right soon I saw a place with a Hotel sign. I asked for a room and was given an OK one, 7$. Bed and bathroom was fine and the girls there very sweet.
Later as I walked around a bit in town I saw another house with a Guest House sign. The place I stayed at had inordinately many young girls in scanty clothing and heavy make up, and there was some music in the evening. It may actually have been the local whorehouse. The only suggestion of any sort to me was for massage, which I declined. Early in bed again.
Sre Ambel actually looked interesting and I regret having arrived as late as I did. I don't really think there is enough to warrant a whole days stay but I could easily have walked around there a few more hours. Had a fish dinner with sticky rice and an Angkor beer.
I get only better and better feelings with Cambodian village life and people. I am looking forward to more of it later up further north.
