Thursday 22nd November. 

Highway 5 and the backroads to Battambang, Cambodia.

We started the day cycling south on highway 5. Not a good road for cyclists at the moment due to a lot of road works. The road was narrow, bumpy and dusty. 
After lunch we took the backroads through the countryside. It gave us a great opportunity to see how people live in this part of Cambodia. We stopped on the way to see the ruins of Ek Phnom Wat and then enjoyed a picturesque road following the river into Battambang. 
Battambang is an ex French colonial town with several nice colonial buildings and restaurants.
Tomorrow we will have our last full day cycling in Cambodia as we head to the border of Thailand.
