Siem Reap at 9:45 on a good road for most of the first hour. The paved road with scattered potholes soon
turned to dirt road with scattered paved sections, tire swallowing craters and
ruts like ski moguls that sent us airborne. This was very slow going – averaging 40km/hr in a continuous
dust cloud. After a short lunch
break, the road inconceivably worsened and remained the same for the next 200
km. This, by the way, was the National Highway. Hours later, we arrived on the outskirts of
Phnom Penh – dirt encrusted with eyes full of dust and proceeded to navigate
the chaotic city traffic to our resting point at the Manor House. Whew – exhausted and proud we made it!
