A study in concentrationHere's a few photos from my cycling experience in Mondulkiri, courtesy of Mark Ellison, MD of adventure tour company Asia Adventures. He kindly sent me through a couple of pictures and its amusing to see how serious I look when I'm on the bike, compared to when I'm on terra firma! To be honest on some of the downhill sections I had my heart in my mouth hoping that I wouldn't come a cropper. The one pictured here was a doddle compared to some of them.
I'm chatting to some passing locals and Ken was translating, as usual
This was one of the easier sections, just outside Sen Monorom and one of the few times when I wasn't at the back of the group!
I'm receiving instructions on how to make a gorgeous sugar-cane juice drink in the village of Puchiri

Hi Andy, it's a areat adventure!
By the way, in the second photo, were you talking to the locals in English and Ken translated(into Khmer)? I know you can speak some Khmer basics, but the capture gives me some wondering ;-)
I was actually making faces at their young child while Ken, who is an expert in the Pnong language and pretty much an expert in everything else, was passing the time of day and asking about road conditions, etc. My Khmer language is extremely basic and extends to about fifty words, maximum!
Ah.. in fact it's Pnong language :)
