Waterfalls, lakes and the beautiful open countryside...!

We based ourselves in a small very rural and untouristy town (Ban Lung) where the locals hardly spoke a word of English, and you could buy fresh clams by the bucket load from the local market! (something i didn't partake in i'm afraid).

The best way to explore the countryside of Cambodia is by hiring motorbikes so this is just what we did...! Great fun riding along the red sand dirt tracks out across the hills visiting the unspoilt volcanic lakes and waterfalls as we went. We swung from the vines, 'like tarzan', under Ka Tieng waterfall, which our arms took a long time to recover from!! Then had power showers under Chaa Ong waterfall where we were swimming and diving off the rocks, visiting the local villages and getting covered from head to to in red sand!!!

Thank god Cindy and I had at least purchased a local Khmer scarf each that managed to just about stop us from actually eating the dirt! :)
