Day started well, starting at 10:00 to find long sought offroad connection between Kampot and Kep.
Lutz stayed at the cinema, because of his back (sticking on chinese deep heat band aids) and stefan had to go to a buisiness meeting. So only me and thiran.
We had a great ride and made it to Kep eventually, nature at its best.
On the way back though, a woman on her scooter drove into me and I hurt my wrist coming off. Since it happened next to the police station (yes, on the dirt road near a village), they were there quickly too. To make a long story short, no one was interested in me or the wrist or why the woman drove on my side – the lesson to be learned: If you are a forigner in a 3rd world country, you are automatically the source of income. No matter what- but hey, what else is new. Anyway, with the help of Thiran and various phone conversations with the bike rental and him with the police, I eventually paid a fine of 35$ to the police. Hope they keep most of it.
Thank you also at this point to lutz, stefan and others of the local expat community to make the phone conversations possible (long story).
Here you see the bike (nice pic actually):
Anyway, managed to drive back somehow (right hand side, so throttle!).
Got some ice in the cinema, had some beers. Later I put on some deep heat equivalent and a bandage.
Will try to put bike on minibus to PP tomorrow and take it from there.
Worst part being, that I was invited to a 5 day jungle trail tour to Ankor Wat in 2 days time 😦
Maybe there will be a miracleous recovery …
