Finally, time to get dirty. I mean literally. As in covered in dust from top to bottom. Today's stage included 120 km proper dirt roads, a couple of river crossings and one very rickety bridge. Called it a day in Pailin, a small rural town near the Thai border with a beautiful tempel up on a hill. Great warm-up before getting into the highlands tomorrow. Cardamom Mountains, here I come!!
Here' the bridge I just crossed.
Local kids cooling off.
...and the hilltop tempel in Pailin.
