Battambang the Last Stop in Cambodia

Battambang was the next stop, and our last place to go in Cambodia. In Battambang we got to go kayaking, and ride on the bamboo rail.

I remember walking up to the edge of the river, and slowly getting into the kayak. It was very calm and peaceful, just floating down the river. As we past the children that were at the river bank, they all waved to us and called "hello!" Sometimes we would just float with our feet in the water. When we had to get out I was kind of sad. But I was excited for what we were doing next.


Next we went to the bamboo railway. The bamboo railway is a little bamboo raft that has wheels on the bottom so it can roll on the train tracks. I got on expecting a nice calm ride. And that's what it was... at first. It started getting faster and faster. It was so much more fun then I expected it to be. As you went along if there was another raft coming your way you would take the raft off and the lift the wheels out of the way. They would go past you and then you would put it back together.


Battambang was fun, but it's time to leave Cambodia now. Next we'll go back to Thailand. And soon our adventure will be done, and we will have to go home.
