Vietnam to Cambodia Day 5 by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Today is our last day of the bike ride and it has gone so very quickly for me, and I’m dreading the flight home especially since catching this stupid cold. Again it would be a short day of around 40 miles where we will be finishing by Angkor Wat. We will be taking the coach first to the start of the ride by one of the original stone bridges, most of which have been replaced by modern concrete ones. We then rode the first 45km before stopping for lunch on a pontoon which was again a very nice meal to have. We also missed out the mid day sun over lunch before continuing the last 26km to Angkor. A couple of kilometers from the finished we all stopped to meet up as a group and ride the last 2km to the finish where champagne and medals were waiting for us. Riding this last section through Angkor Wat is very beautiful I’m looking forward to the full tour tomorrow. Well we made it to the end for a drink and group photo before taking a short coach trip to the Empress Angkor Hotel which by my standards is a very posh hotel where we will staying the next 2 days, it even has a pool.

This evenings meal was another great meal but I decided to stay in tonight as I wanted to get a decent night’s sleep (haven’t had a good one since leaving home) and try and make a dent in the stupid cold for tomorrows tour of Angkor Wat. Some people went site seeing and drinking and didn’t return till 05:30, brave people.
