Day 07: Saturday, 03 Dec 2016
Route: Phnom Penh - Stung Treng
Distance: 398 km
Hotel: Sok San Hotel
Route: Phnom Penh - Stung Treng
Distance: 398 km
Hotel: Sok San Hotel
We rode out of Phnom Penh by 8:30 am. The traffic leading out of the city was not that busy during this time of the day.
The ride was smooth and the weather was cool. We took Route 7 or AH 11 to Stung Treng and stayed on the major motorway which is 60 km further but will give us faster time.
On the way we made a few stops for refueling and rest. By 4:00 pm we arrived in Stung Treng and checked-in Sok San Hotel for USD12/night. The owner of the hotel Mr. Abdullah is a Khmer Muslim. He took us in his car to a Muslim stall for a very late lunch of chicken rice.
Mr Abdullah invited us to have dinner at his house but we refused his invitation politely. We packed a bowl of beef soup to be eaten with bread for dinner later.
