Riding in Northern Cambodia & Southern Laos

After the charity ride I was on my own again! My first day was a long one- 140km from Kratie to Stung Treng, and then north through the sparsely populated northern Cambodia. Then into Laos, a new country, new people, new language, and new friends.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics of this adventurous trip. I love Cambodia, have been there once backpacking for a month. And will go back in 2013 and cross the border to visit Laos, too.
