Day 8 - The Rest Phnomenon
Skun to Phnom Penh
An upcoming series of rest days was badly needed. I felt better after the initial recovery but I really needed some more extended rest in a big city to recharge my batteries. The worst was expected again today but I was pleasantly surprised with a dual carriageway the entire way to the capital city and many developments along the way. Food was not going to be an issue, thank goodness.

At a gas station with WiFi I did some booking for a decent hotel room and was very careful in the booking procedure after the past mishaps. I wanted to check the independent reviews and secure a place with great service and advanced confirmation. If they had some bicycle parking even better. I was spoilt for choice on this criteria and really lucked out with a spot that met it all. It was then an easy matter to breeze into the city and breathe a sigh of relief. I had made it.
Today's ride: 94 km (58 miles)
Total: 1,734 km (1,077 miles)
