of Great Escape Motorbike Tours is keen to pass onto his riding travellers . For the uninitiated it ’ s a way to become familiar with riding in Asia , it ’ s chaotic and challenging , yet in a well-mannered , almost polite way . On a larger than most Honda XR250 the locals recognise you ’ re not from ‘ around here ’ and provide room , even guidance on how to move with the flow . A great introduction to Cambodia .
Heading south , along the path of Highway 2 , the experience of Cambodian roads continues . Roadside vendors selling everything from kitchenware to wooden toys , coconuts to meat of all descriptions . A sensory overload that has only just begun .
Through backroads , villages live their lives , fishing , herding cattle , tending rice paddies . A glimpse into the real Cambodia without the hustle of the cities . Kep
