Half-Day Countryside Local Village Cycling Tour

Sai picked us up from our hotel on time and we went to pick up the bikes. They were good quality Giant bikes and we were given safety helmets. Getting out of the city is quite hairy but we were soon in the back streets. The countryside is beautiful and we even visited Sai's home and family. Our Tuk Tuk ride took us to Artisans Angkor to see the workshops, Theam's House for for history and art. The highlight for us was a visit to a pagoda to be blessed by a Monk. Sai is local to the area and is very knowledge.

I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with my guide Sai. I was the only person that day but Sai was very respectful and informative along the route and allowed me to stop anytime to take pictures. There was a lovely sense of freedon cycling though the village and I learnt so much even visiting Sai's old school and seeing the tree he had planted 12 years ago.The lotus fields are quite beautiful and plentiful in this area and I dicovered a lot about this wonderful flower. It was fascinating watching the stems being pulled apart to reveal fibres that would eventually be spun into lovely silk garments. I was able to see the cambodian woman using the loom with such expertise.A really lovely day off the beaten track with friendly cambodian villagers. Would defintely recommend.
