Alive in Cambodia

Hello again...

Sorry I did not write more about Angkor Wat but I will to so in a couple of days.

We have just finished riding through the heart of Cambodia and after doing close to 130km today I'm not in the mood to write much.

So much has happened in the last few days. First of all, Allan's father (one of my cycling partner's) has passed away and he was forced to finish his vacation rather abruptly and return to the US. My deepest condolences to Allan and his family. He's such a good soul and it was very hard to see him depart.

Secondly the tidal wave that has hit Asia was an experience that shook us all with disbelieve. Sitting in a small town we managed to catch BBC on short-wave radio only to learn that 20,000 people have perished. It still gives me goose bumps whenever somebody talks about it. Out hearts and deepest condolences go out to the people who lost their lives unexpectedly. I feel lucky not being in Thailand at the moment as this could have been me drinking in a bar or sleeping and perishing in a tidal wave. I guess I still have some luck on my side.

Ok, I have to go... to tired just finished riding 130km today and I'm a little tired.

There's some much to write about and I promise I will catch up on the blog.

Cheers and all the best.

Robert
