So..... Today went to Battambang. 6 hours on the bus and we arrived at 1.30pm.
Picked up a new friendly tuk tuk driver who took us first the the bamboo railway. This is incredible!!!! Built to move materials from the brick factory it is literally a raft, two sets of wheels and a lawnmower motor. You shoot along sitting on at speed and charge at on coming trains. When you get to one, whoever has the most passengers gets off, and dismantles their train! Way cool.
Next on our journey was the temple ontop of the killing caves. It was great to finally see the lay of the land from this beautiful enchanting spot what felt like thousands of steps (see picture) we had a nice chat with one of the local monks before heading to see the bats. 20 million small bats leave the caves like clockwork each night In the space of an hour filling the skies!!! It was breath taking!
