Temples,tuk tuks and quad bikes!

So most people associate Cambodia with that huge temple know as Angkor Wat. Allegedly it's magnificent and a must see. But you know me, I like to see and do other things not just the touristy stuff.
Our accommodation was able to book us on the sunset quad bike tour so off we go.
When we arrive we got a two minute intro on the bike and asked if we needed any further training. Then the only other advice we got was, in Australia you drive on left, here on right. Stay in middle and move over for truck!!!
So we just rode straight out of the gate onto the roads toward the open country but not before we got our helmets and face masks.



Off we went. The guide rode an off road solo while we two followed behind. I was behind Sue and I can tell you those quad bikes kick up a lot of dust.



We got off the main roads and travelled through small villages and rice fields, very nice scenery with all the children waving. You just had to dodge the patches of buffalo poop.
We visited a lovely monastery and met with some cheeky locals.



Like our wheels?



Meet the local poopers.
Our guide made us stop and pose for a puddle. Sue thought he said go easy through it for the photo.



I thought he said to go fast.



Now I had the water to mix with the dust. Lovely. So after hanging in the rice fields for a bit we headed back. Was a great afternoon and at $28 each you really can't complain about that.
Tomorrow it's off to visit some temple around here they all keep talking about!

Uke complete me!
