Searching for the border and cycling along the Mekong

We cycle into a piece of no-ones-land and soon we see the beam and a shed, which is the border office of Cambodia. The stamps are quickly in our passports and after paying a few dollars for this very special service we crawl with our bicycles under the red and white colored beam. There’s a brand new road waiting for us and Cambodia is lying in front of us. “Sir!!” we hear someone yelling from the border shed at the moment we want to start cycling. For a while we think something is wrong but soon we hear the same man again: “Good luck to you!!!”

Capitol of Cambodia and our search for the beach

Sea, sun, beach..........and further

Otres Beach is the holiday destination where we longed for. Despite all this we pack our bags after a few days in search for a bit more action.
