Country Bound-Battembang

Here's a short recap of our travels around Cambodia:

1. A seven hour boat trip on the "fast" boat to Battembang, the second largest city in Cambodia. Dave gets violently ill after our first meal and I venture out at the late hour of 8:30pm to find crackers and soda for soothing of the stomach. The city is completely closed down and the outing is earily quiet and at times feels like I stepped into a deserted city. I finally come to a little shop open due to stocking shelves at night. Most of what I buy is old and stale and makes a sick stomach feel even sicker.
The next morning we discovered that the only cafe in town to serve non-Khmer breakfast (instant noodle soup) is run by missionaries.
We do some temple and pagoda sauntering outside of town on a rented motorbike and then get the hell out of dodge on the bus the next day to Phnom Penh, the capital.
