Ratinikari

Have bike will travel!! Only as far as the bus stop though, about 300 yards up the road :) We hopped on the bus and rattled our way north to Ban Lung in north east Cambodia. A pretty horrendous journey on a hot crowded dusty bus. At one point a bloke pulls a cockerel out of a wicker bag and the thing starts flapping and running about up and down the aisle, provided a little light entertainment from an otherwise featureless trip. Once the tarmac road ran out it was red dust blowing everywhere, just unbelievable





Riding through rubber plantations, large areas of the province have been clear cut for coffee, rubber, cashew nuts and pepper


































Cashew nuts on the tree ! Fancy that, I always thought they were made from reformed rejected peanuts :)
