17 December, 2006
We had a sloooow breakfast overlooking the Mekong river and then decided to hire bikes for $1. Ken and Yu Yuh came with and we set out on our bicycles to explore the island. It was all going well and then Ken and Yu Yuh got a flat tyre. They had to get a lift with the only passing truck and Rich and I continued around the island. All in all it was 35km and we had such an amazing day. We passed cows and ducks and chickens and pigs and nothing else. There were little villages all along and loads of open land. So primitive and quiet, at times we could only hear the sound of the bicycle. When we got back we were hot and tired and our bums were in agony. We had a bite with Ken and Yu Yuh and chatted the rest of the afternoon away. It was so relaxing and we felt so good.
