Many of the riders got up early for a morning swim on the beach, which was still very warm and pleasant.  After breakfast we left Sihanoukville for a transfer to Kirirom national park.  Lunch was at a resort called ‘Picnic’, which has amazing food that they grow themselves in their organic farm.  We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings with local musicians playing traditional instruments.

Our accommodation in Kirirom was set in the forest, where riders engaged in the activities like Petanque, soccer, or just swimming at the pool on our rest day.  Plenty more cocktails were had in the main building, and there was Karaoke and dancing late into the night.
