If you did not read yet, here it is: why this trip !
Today after finding the way to cross the river, I had the most exciting experience untill now.
In order to arrive to the next city according my map I had only to drive 80km, but what in the map was not mentioned is that the little street indicated on it, pass right in the middle of the jungle.
For the first 10 km all whent ok. But after that the street become more bumpy and full of sand, so didifficult to drive on it that after 2h I was exhausted.
Likely right in time a truck of woodmans pass so I stop them to ask a lift. In 10 min my motorbike was loaded in the truck.
Olthought the track was very big, strong and proceedings at a very low speed, the street in the jungle was so narrow and bumpy that at one point it gets broken. But in Combodia this is never a problem. In 20 they repairs the truck even performing a nice welding.
After repairing the truck we proceed our journey, but shortly we find out on our way another truck broken which was blocking the path. So since was already dark we decided to cook the lunch. Or better the woodmans cooked the lunch. Although my many years and experience of scouting, l was amazed by tham techniques and rapidity to prepare the fire and all the dinner.
After eating the truck blocking the street was repaired so we could slowly proceed, but after a couple of hours a guy in the street stop us. I could not understand the conversation but shortly I understand clearly that he needed our help. His tracks was revers side down after trying to cross a river.
In 20 min I was again surprised by how they solved the situation putting back the lorry on truck.
After other 3h driving we finally arrived almost outside the jungle, where after a well deserved beer , an bath in a river, we follow asleep under the stars.
This is the river where we spend the night, after 8h driving.
This is for sure one of the nicest adventure I will never forgot.
