Most Inspirational Moment
The temple complexes at Angkor Wat. My favourite temple which you don’t hear much about or see many pictures of is the Bayon temple with lots of gigantic 4 faced stone heads. It is truly amazing and so difficult to capture on camera.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nee did a fantastic job looking after the whole group, making sure we were OK, that we hadn’t forgotten anything, getting the food orders right in the restaurants, etc. She always had a smile on her face and was always willing to help with whatever problems or questions you might have. She was a great cyclist too and was happy to lead at the front or accompany some of the slower riders (like me). Also the fruits and snacks provided during the breaks were exceptional. I had the best mango I’ve ever tasted and I’m glad a tried all the other exotic fruit I’d never seen before. My personal favourite was the dragon fruit. Yum!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Whilst crossing the borders by bike is quite exciting, it is also very bureaucratic and takes quite a long time. Think hours not minutes. The mattresses on the beds are REALLY hard.There is a long wait at KL airport for the retun flight to London but there is a reasonable amount of places to shop, eat, drink, sit, etc.
