I am on my way to the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. A considerable route of 300 km, mainly on motorway. However, a motorway here cannot be compared to Europe. There is a lot of work on the way today and then one direction of the dual carriageway will be closed and the other half will become a dual carriageway with oncoming…

After a beautiful route along the border with Thailand I arrive in Pailin, the city where I entered the country. I did not book a hotel because I saw in Google Maps that there are enough accommodation options in this area. The hotel where I first knock has a beautiful garden with a large swimming pool and…

A heat wave will push the temperature up to around 40 degrees this week. But I didn't come to Cambodia to lie by the pool all day, so I decide to travel light for a few days. I leave my motorcycle gear and some gear at the hotel and in jeans and a longsleeve…

Near the city of Battambang, where I stay, I visit the bat cave and the cave of the dead. The bat cave can only be viewed from the outside as the opening in the rock is high above ground level. This, together with 2 other caves, is home to a million (!) bats that leave the caves every night at…

At 12:00 I have to return my rental car at Melbourne airport and when I put the destination in the navigation, that is exactly the time of arrival. Oops, I thought it would be less driving and will have to complete the route without a break. Exactly at the indicated time…

Coincidentally, the paths of my sister and her company and me cross today. They are on their way east and I am on my way back west. Fortunately I can carry my air mattress into their house again and after a pleasant evening and breakfast we say goodbye for the second time…

Not a long route today because I want to explore the area around Lakes Entrance, a crossing between Zeeland and southern Limburg. In the morning I visit Nyerimilang Heritage Park, because I feel like a walk. Despite the beautiful name, the park is a bit disappointing. The Visitor Center is closed and I'm ready…

When I plan my route in the car before departure in the morning, I still have no idea what to expect. On GoogleMaps I choose the route with the most bends and the darkest green and the first hours that I'm driving my expectation comes out well. What beautiful (motor!) roads and…
