I have just spent a few fantastic days in Sen Monorom! The "capitol" of the Mondulkiri province is quite a charming village with its population of 7000--red dust, cattle, old motorbikes, a market and plenty of surrounding forest and jungle with the opportunity of visiting minority villages and trek by elephants to waterfalls descripes most of what I've been doing. The stay itself was amazing, with friendly people both in the city and the villages, amazing food! and a lovely time with my new Italian friend, Conchita. As much fun was the trip to get there and back; some 7-8 hours (and that is quick!), mostly on bright red dirt roads through a stunningly beautiful scenery of jungle. On the way back Conchita and I got a "seat" in the back of a pick up--and with 15 people outside, 6 people inside, a full garden ornamental shop at the base of the car, one banana palm and a small motorbike, we set off! Needless to say, it was an adventurous trip. Now I'm back in Phnom Penh for the day, heading to Vietnam tomorrow.
