Leg 3 – Cambodia

Stung Treng

Monday, March 17, 2014 The hotel selection here was very limited, so that made it easy to find the best hotel in town, Gold River Hotel. Tripadvisor recommended a cafe located on the outskirts of town, and that is where…

Kratie to Stung Treng

Saturday, March 15, 2014 We had rain and thunderstorms overnight, which was a little exciting. We got a late start, but the plan for the day only called for 3 hours of driving. And the plan was right for once.…

Kratie
