Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
24 degC 87% humidity A very restless night for both of us. We were picked up at 7:40am and travelled for two hours before starting the ride. About half way we stopped at Pichnil to pay our respects and ask for good luck for the rest of the ride. When we eventually stopped to ride, Greg decided he was better enough to ride, however Wendy stayed in the van. We both hope she only has a 24hr thing. Yesterday Bob had all sorts of troubles with his bike but managed to keep riding. About 15km into today's ride his rear brake decided to seize up in the "on" position thereby making it very difficult to ride. We stopped seemingly in the middle of nowhere at someone's home and tried to do some repairs. Despite the efforts, it was not possible to repair the brake so Lucky swapped bikes with Bob and on we went. Unfortunately for Lucky, Bob's seat post could not go down any further so he is now riding a very ill-fitting bike. And, to make it even worse, he is also sick with a head cold! Lunch, another cold box, was had overlooking the sea on the outskirts of Sihanoukville on someone's back yard under a nice shelter from the sun. Lucky reckoned it was only another 10km to he hotel so everyone agreed to keep riding. It turned out to be 20km and it was quite warm. When we arrived at the Legacy Resort it was a pleasant surprise. We were allocate room 213 which is almost directly opposite the pool. Bob and Mark got a double bed instead of two singles so had to swap with Bill who got the two singles!! After unpacking and settling in, we all went for a swim; the water was quite warm, just how Greg likes it. Whilst Wendy had a LLD, the boys went shopping for beers, and then went for a walk to the beach (10 mins walk) to see the sunset. We were picked up for dinner at 7pm and went to a very local restaurant on Ottes Beach called Mein Mein Restaurant and Bar. Seems to be pick on Bob day today as his meal was the last to come out and then it was incorrect. He was very "hangry" by this time so ate it anyway. The staff must have realized their mistake and just after he'd finished they presented him with what he actually ordered! After discussing tomorrow's events it was time to return to the resort for teeth brushing and bed.
