Finally, we had a good night sleep last night! As soon as our heads hit the pillow we were both out like a light!
We went for breakfast to the balcony this morning, it's where we are last night and really enjoyed the food. It's only around the corner from us so we decided to book our buses for tomorrow from here, so today is our last day together because Sarah and Mike go to Phnom Penh and on to Vietnam and me and Scott are going to Sen Monorom to volunteer at the elephant sanctuary! But I'm sure we will bump into each other in Vietnam again!
We hired motorbikes from here and went out to the three waterfalls just outside of town. They drive on the otherwise of the road here but there are hardly any cars on the road, I think we went passed about 4 cars all day. Like I said, it's a ghost town up here!
The first one... Well a little rusty on the ole GPS so we ended up passing the turning but we soon retreated! To be fair the road was a brown and orange sandy dirt track. Other than the one main road than ran through the town and to other cities and the few around the main market and lake, the roads are dirt tracks!
The first waterfall (kateng waterfall) was really nice, we were the only ones there! To get to it we had to cross a rickety bridge that wobbled every time you walked or moved and of course Scott and Mike had to play and bounce up and down on it! It was funny at first but as soon as I heard crack me and Sarah ran!
I am getting brave.. I went into this splash pool with no shoes on and I could barely see the bottom, the rocks were slimy and the mud was like thick clay. We jumped on the tree stump poking out of the water, they all seem to have these! I even got a baddy on my foot I slid over a rock and cut my foot a little on a rock!
We swam up to the waterfall and sat up on the rock underneath it, I think I was a little deaf with water in my ears!
We soon moved on to the second one (kachanh) which was down yet another dirt track, through the villages. I think the fields of trees growing are trees for rubber because there is a rubber factory in the villages we went through to the waterfalls.
This waterfall was pretty cool aswell! We had to walk down some steep steps to it, you could walk right the way around behind the waterfall to the other side of of the small river. The water was so powerful and freezing! These rocks were really sharp so I decided to walk around the outside and not get completely in the water. There was an elephant chained up by the entrance, we fed her bananas which she loved! Couldn't pull Scott away from her as per usual!

We headed back the opposite way for the third waterfall (chaa ong), this one was a lot more out the way on some dirty sandy tracks and through rubber plantations. This one there wasn't a pool to swim in just a waterfall to stand under, again you could go right behind it and stand, it looked as though people went there to drink and chill out or party, a little dangerous but hey! We are in Asia ya know!? We weren't around there long before we headed back to the restaurant to have a drink and a bit to eat, we had all forgotten about food for the day until we stopped and realised we were hungry at 4.30.
Our bike is so rubbish! It goes so slow up hills and every bump sounds as if our engine is about to fall off!

After a bite to eat and an angkor, and Scott decided to try and make up for last nights poor performance at pool by practicing his pots. We went back to the hotel showered and napped before food tonight!

Ban lung is a lovely place, so many things to do here that you wouldn't expect from Cambodia!
