Today was a bit of  an adventure! I was up early to go to a yoga class in a women's only spa which trains Cambodian women from bad backgrounds to be masseuses, yoga teachers and beauticians. There was a very relaxed atmosphere there.
I then rented a motorbike to explore the surrounding area. I drove to a pepper farm and annoyingly came off my bike as I was trying to go through some mud. I was lucky that there were some nice Laos guys to help pick the bike up and they even gave me their water to wash the mud off my arm. I have a good bruise on my knee and annoying broke the right wing mirror so after the farm I stopped at a petrol station and asked, by pointing at the broken mirror, where I can get a new one. A guy who was getting petrol indicated for me to follow him and he took me down the road to a bike shop and I got a new mirror for a dollar.  Not bad!
I drove through a place called Kep which had a lovely beach and got home before it got too dark.
At my yoga class, an irish lady recommended a restaurant to me and I went this evening. It was amazing. It opened six months ago and is already no. 1 on trip advisor. It is a tiny bamboo and straw hut with one table and the owner prepares and cooks everything on the same table and even grows all the veg in his garden. He has 6 meals on the menu and my meal was the best I have had in weeks. I wish I had taken my camera!
