After a lunch siesta in a hammock--they literally have restaurants with open wall hammock rooms attached! It was back to the trike to race to the other side of Siem Reap to take a boat out to see the Floating Village.
Looking down at the boats/dock
Getting in our private ride.
The young boy helps us shove off
The tourists take leave
Still pushing as the lightning strikes in the distance
Pedal and steering contraption
Boat party of 1 :)
Banks- Family on motorcycle whiz by. Loved the sky behind them. It was dry season, otherwise the water would be up to the bank.
A common site, ice being delivered by the block
A boy and his bike head home
Floating store along the banks on the way
Boat getting repaired
the spikes on the left (blue) are cemetery posts! This cemetery is underwater most of the year!
Skies start to really make me nervous- pics don't do it justice. . .
Luckily there were others on the water too. The boy "mans" the motor
Finally about 30 minutes in, the banks part and the large lake appears
There's the village!
Typical structure
house
Shops for tourists to get a drink and photo-op. We got out and to my surprise there were alligator cages!
Everything in this village is floating! Church, clinic, schools.
Passing sign- there was even one for speed!
Back on land, our trike had readied himself with the rain gear for a wet ride home :)
