We were piled into a minibus for the trip to Ban Lung. I shared the back seat with three other adults and three children. Once of the highway the roads turned to shit, all mud and potholes. Cambodian Kids start being cute when they smile, wave and say hello. They stop being cute when they start throwing up either side of you. The trip was slow but there was a welcome change in the scenery as it went from rice fields to woodlands and forest.
The few days I was here were spent on a moto checking out the country side. Two or three waterfalls were pretty nice, one you could walk behind. Another I couldn't make it to as the road was clay, no traction when wet. The rear wheels would fish tail everywhere and I need my legs to act like training wheels. The catch 22 of the wet season. All the waterfalls and river are at their best but the roads turn to mud and it can be near impossible to see them. Both days I finished at Boueng Yaek Lom. A crater lake, volcanic or meteor in origin I'm not sure but the the lake formed a near perfect circle in the forest. The water was clear, warm and a great place to finish the day with a swim.
