2015 - SUNSET on TONLE SAP LAKE - near Siem Reap
Sun 22 Feb 2015
THIS AFTERNOON MY TAXI DRIVER GUIDE PICKED ME UP & WE ARE GOING FOR A BOAT RIDE OUT TO SEE THE SUN SET OVER THE TONLE SAP RIVER
WE STOP ON THE WAY TO SEE SOME PEOPLE TRAINING TO BE TRAINERS IN CRAFTS & SUCH LIKE ..
AVOIDING BULLOCKS ON THE ROAD WE ARRIVE AT THE DOCK. IT IS MILLING WITH PEOPLE BUT THE GUIDE GETS ME ON BOARD A BOAT WITH MINIMUM FUSS & OFF WE GO -- JUST THE THREE OF US ABOARD ..
LOOKING BACK TO THE DOCK ...
LOOKING FORWARD - ONE WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN THE RIVER BUT THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE IN THERE. FISHING MAINLY.
SOME OF THE BOATS ARE QUITE FAST, SENDING UP SPRAY & MAKING WAVES ..
THERE IS A BIG SIGN SAYING MIND YOUR HEAD & THIS FELLA SAYS MIND YOUR HEAD - YOU WOULD THNK THAT WERE ENOUGH WARNING. NEVER MIND - IT DID NOT HURT THAT MUCH
WE GET OFF THE BOAT AND BOARD WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A FLOATING VIEWING PLATFORM. LOWER DECK HAS THESE ..
DELIVERY SERVICE ---
UPPER DECK FOR THE SUNSET VIEW ..
DANCING GIRLS - OR GIRL ANYWAY ..
AND IT GETS TOO DARK FOR PHOTOS SO WE BOAT BACK TO THE DOCK & HOME TO THE HOTEL.
DRIVING AT NIGHT IN CAMBODIA IS 'INTERESTING'.
