TRAVEL LOG BERNIES BIKE BLOG The bike photo blog on Asiaphoto. It's about my 2013 trip from Germany to Iran and back, visiting the whole Caucasus region, around the Black Sea passing Russia and Ukraina (blog in German language). 4 months, 22.000 km and 18 countries
Preah Vihear From Siem Reap I took a motorbike wih driver to check out the new road to Preah Vihear. The part from Banteay Srey to Anlong Veng (94 km) was really bumpy. After an delay of 1 hr (flat tyre) we reached the old Khmer Rouge stronghold at lunchtime. The new road is fantastic, all bridges are finished now. It was possible to do the 107 km to Preah Vihear in less than 3 hours! It is now possible to access the mountain with a 4WD, but for or small bike it was to hard...We reached the mountaintop before sunset and had a quite evening there, after all the Thai tourists had already gone. Some Khmer who work there provided us with a simple room for the night. Except us and 6 young guys from Phnom Penh there were no overnight visitors. PV at sunrise is an incredible sight. I had the whole temple for myself for about 2 hours, until the first drink stalls opened. Time for us to go back. We reached Siem Reap at 5 pm.
