Cambodia - Motorcycle Diaries in Kratie & the Irrawaddy Dolphins

One of the things before i said before leaving home, was that i would never ride a motor bike whilst in S.E. Asia; hence why Ive been sitting on the back of Jade's bike like the wimp that i am... I mean that has been stressful enough. Until we embarked on a mammoth journey from Siem Reap to Kratie where we met 2 motor bike enthusiasts. They convinced me everything will be fine & there was no need to worry, since i was in safe hands...

So i did... & It turned out it was one of the best experiences of this trip... In fact i think i want one!!!
not only the bike ride but the village we drove through, and the locals we met. the entire package was just perfect...


 A little snack...Fried Cricket


 Grandma was rubbing a coin in between his
muscle tissue & bones. & I have no idea why....

Oooouch!

 125cc Automatic

 Kratie's Kritters




 Off road dirty bike action...


Evil Kan-evil - at his best!






The real reason we ventured to Kratie was to catch a glimpse of the Freshwater Irrawaddy Dolphins...
Even though we caught more than just a glimpse. i found it quite hard, to get a decent shot of these miniature whale looking creatures...

 I think their shooting for National Geographic



 

Here's a picture - so you can get the picture
