La Villa, Battambang

La villa is an excellent example of a restored french colonial house. This place is awesome.

Pursat

Pursat is a small town on the way to Battambang. It's known for oranges that are sold all around Cambodia. I've always blown through Pursat on the way to Battambang not giving it a second thought. This time Jeff and I did a little exploring to see what's here.

Right in the middle of the river is an island converted to some sort of gathering area. This thng is humongous.

Here's a cool looking house built around the late 50's. The owners were kind enough to invite us in for tea.

Quick Ride To Pech Nil

45 minutes. That's how long it took us to go halfway to Sihanookville. It was too damn fast. Some guys were touching near 240 kph. I stopped at 215. That's plenty for me. Glad I didn't bring the big camera but I did bring the little sony T-500. Here's some pics from our little trip.

Do not walk into a bank looking like this

There was six of us that rode out but only four that came back on motorcycles.

Rattana looking disappointed. I think one of the ignition coils went kaput on him.
