Decisions, Decisions

"Be honest is good life." These are the words painted on the steps of the guesthouse. I read these words as I try to pick out a route through Cambodia. Do I go North through the Cardamom Mountains or continue southeast to the border of Vietnam. Even though the mountains guarantee adventure I am leaning towards the coast. Mostly because that was the route I had roughly drawn out in my mind before I left Canada. It doesn't matter what I choose, I will regret that I wasn't able to do both. All I can do is take everything I can out of the choice I make.

Today I got to nothing important. I got on the bike and tried to find the local beach. Trusting my trusty map I got extremely lost and ended up crossing some large puddles.

Just a little puddle. Wet shoes ensued.

After backtracking all that way I found the road. It was the obvious one that was paved I passed earlier. I found the beach and I slept. I also ate a mango and an apple if you were wondering.

I got my spoke fixed as well. The mechanic had none of the right tools but what he did have was smarts. He couldn't take off my rear cassette nor my disc brake. So he bent the spoke so much I thought for sure it would brake. He eventually found the right bends to get it threaded through the hub. Success, I now have all spokes again.

Well tomorrow I head east. Further away from Bangkok. I have this feeling in the back of my mind always not to get to far away since I need to make it back there. I really don't want to take a bus the final days. But I still have 25 days so I shouldn't worry so much! Alright, I hope I can write again soon.
