Lunch in the wetlands

They say in the old Norse book of wisdom, the Hávamál:

"He craves for water, who comes for refreshment, drying and friendly bidding, marks of good will, fair fame if 'tis won, and welcome once and again.

"He hath need of his wits who wanders wide, aught simple will serve at home; but a gazing-stock is the fool who sits mid the wise, and nothing knows."

Wisdom is to enjoy and remember delicious food, good friends and restful outlook. Knowledge is how to get there and enjoy them once again.

This harmonies quite well with the khmer view of food, friendship and enjoying a chat. And of course enjoy news sight and a break with a nice view while travelling.

Enjoy the greener alternative

This backroad was consider a shortcut back when we were travelling here, bypassing the crossroads and queues in Sisiphon. During the pandemic, a huge upgrade was done to the highway between Battambang and Sisiphon and National Road 6.

Maybe this direct route will save time. And the only reason to take this backroad is the splendid landscape, the lesser amount of tourists and good food and drinks with a view to peaceful, yet lively, wetlands.

It is so nice to have choice when travelling.

This place is near the Kro Bao Village Peam Pagoda for those who want to see a typical village pagoda.
