9 Days of Gout Over – Happy Days

Once I had finally gotten over the gout and being grumpy I had been to Sihanoukville town and Otres Beach for a few days.  The people I met must have wondered why such a scruffy dude in a such a bad mood was even bothering to travel.  Sorry to them.

My original plan was to do a trek into the Cardamom Mountains for a few days from a town called Chi Pat.  There is an excellent organization called ChiPat CBET (Community Based Eco Tourism) that arranges various activities in the nearby forest.  It’s only after I got to the isolated village that I realized I hadn’t been to the ATM and hence I had no money.  I had to settle for doing a one day mountain bike trip.

This was the first time I had stayed at a home stay.  I enjoyed the experience of being with the family for the two nights I was there.
