Cambodia is not the Swiss Alps of SE Asia.

We survived our morning bike ride without any major incidences. It was a bit hot & dusty, but the roads were completely flat. We spent about 4 hrs biking around small roads and dirt lanes and stopping at few places. We first stopped at a market in a small town so our guide could buy snacks and then stopped at (what I figured was someones house) to eat in their front yard. After another 10km we turned onto a small lane on top of a damn where our guide pointed out a killing field discovered in the 90s. We stopped to visit a family that was boiling down palm sap to make palm sugar-- which smells and looks just like maple syrup. All and all it was a good time, maybe minus the Swiss Family Robinson of 4 we ended up with. They were very HM and a bunch of pansies that kept stopping for water or pictures, and then to clean wounds when the father fell in the sandy road. The impatient Americans (read: us) were putting up with the shenanigans until they started handing out money to the kids they took pictures of at the market & houses we stopped at. We had to eventually walk away it made us so uncomfortable, and even our guide kept apologizing for them. But besides our tour-mates, the bike ride was great & we finally got a little exercise to break up our lazy days of laying by the pool & meandering around town. We have one more day here in Siem Reap, so I think we'll spend tomorrow visiting more temples. We spent the rest of the afternoon today laying by the pool, so I think we can manage another hot day of temple hopping before setting off to Bangkok.
