Investigate jungle trekking

After coffee in the hotel restaurant with great views over the lake we walked into the centre of Ban Lung. The aim of today being to find out which jungle trek is the most interesting and which trekking company has the best deal!

We visited the first company, where there was a really cute puppy and a very nice restautant!

The second company had a really enthusiastic local guy who sold us some great ideas and showed us some cool photos!

Finally, we visited a third company, where a nice friendly man told us about his treks.

Decisions...decisions....decisions....

Firstly, the Phillipines has been devastated by a super typhoon and we may catch the tiny end bit of it here in Cambodia. Meaning, it might rain a lot tomorrow! So, maybe we'll delay our original start date.

Secondly, the third company has been recommended by 2 people who we went on another trip with. They enjoyed it and returned alive from the jungle. This has to be a good sign!

This evening we ate a huge 'bucket' of rice in the restaurant next door, before returning to our hotel to play scrabble! A French waiter has just told us that the restaurant will be closed for the next 2 days as they are all attending a wedding. Where is our invite?!
