Today, a small group of us mounted bicycles and decided to ride over the Mekong River via the Japanese-funded bridge which is at least 1km long. The bridge has created great transport links between the east and west as well as north and south of the country which is fantastic although has put the ferries out of business and has made Kampong Cham more of a thoroughfare than a place to pause in one’s journey. As it is still the rainy season (just) the Mekong is very wide and has even broken its banks in several places. It was a pleasant ride and again, we were a huge source of entertainment for the Cambodians we passed. Check out the pictures...
