With a few days left before I embark on my trip, things are beginning to fall into place. I normally leave packing till the night before, but this kind of travel calls for slightly better organisation. I'll be on the road for 2 months altogether, carrying one pack. So making sure I have everything I need and knowing where it all is is gonna be quite important. But having said this, I'm planning on travelling as light as possible, so hopefully it won't be too complicated.
Whilst I was doing some research for my trip at work today (alt-tab when the boss comes... no problem), I found a site that organises motorbike tours around Cambodia. It's run by an expat and is popular with westerners, so apparently it's safe and reliable (which is not what you can expect of normal modes of transport in Cambodia as far as I am aware). Of course with the luxury of safety and the familiarity of Western organisers, the downside is cost. At £100 per day its not cheap, but that does include rental of bike, fuel, food and accomodation. I just can't imagine anything more appealing than riding a dirt bike through jungle tracks and over river crossings to go see ancient temples and remote villages. It does seem to be the best way to see the country.
In the mean time, part of my trip preparation has meant learning how to use my camera. Here are some shots so far, taken around London's Southbank after sunset.
