Our Group (Andrea missing) ready for training.
We are together for the 7/8 weeks of ICT
Edwin,Chris, Paul ,Angela, Vicky and Kim
After our brief motorbike training in the UK we were given a further days training now we are in Cambodia to include bike maintenance, buying a bike , typical prices for servicing and tactics to adopt when stopped by the Traffic police (pay up as little as poss).
Angela AKA The Stig
We practised tight turns and emergency stops in the hotel carpark and then went out onto the roads to experience Cambodian traffic.
A typical Cambodian bike we will be riding ;semi automatic gear box
In the afternoon we drove out to a disused aeroplane runway and did some riding on the rough gravel surface.
Then Angela and I took it in turns to carry each other as a pillion passenger- who would have thought it me on the back of Angelas motorbike!!
Ready to roll down the runway

Relaxing afterwards with a plastic bag of squeezed sugar cane juice ,ice and lime
Fantastic - it all makes perfect sense - the freedom of the open road - the ability to travel like one of the locals - the country is now yours to explore ..... now, who is in the driving seat?
