Dag-Rune ZPunting and fishing in deep blue and green<br>
<br>
A view to the south from our lunch break spot between Battambang and Siem Reab. Wetlands are amazing rich in biological varieties, and gives some fantastic views and outlooks.<br>
<br>
The gentleman in the wooden boat continued his rowing towards the small piece of wood with a fishing net connected to it. But just as he was to pick it up, he punted on towards shore.<br>
<br>
The landscape in the countryside of Siem Reap is stunning in so many ways. This is one of those views. <br>

Dag-Rune ZA lunch break on the backroads to Siem Reap<br>
<br>
They say in the old Norse book of wisdom and cultural heritage, the Hávamál:<br>
<br>
“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.<br>
<br>
“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.”<br>
<br>
Wisdom is to enjoy and remember delicious food, good friends and a restful view. Knowledge is know how to get there and enjoy it.<br>
<br>
This harmonies quite well with the Khmer view of food, friendship and enjoying a chat. And of course enjoy new sights and a break from everyday with a nice view while travelling. And bird viewing, come to that.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the greener alternative<br>
<br>
This backroad was consider a shortcut back when we were travelling there, bypassing the crossroads and queues in Sisophon in Western Cambodia. During the pandemic, a huge upgrade was done to the highway between Battambang and Sisiphon and National Road 5 and NR 6. It reduces the travelling time between Siem Reap and Battambang, and between the border city Poipet and Battambang.<br>
<br>
The reason to take this backroad even with a new road, is the splendid landscape, the lesser amount of tourists and other travellers, and good food and drinks with a view to peaceful, yet lively, wetland area.<br>
<br>
It is so nice to have choices when travelling.<br>
<br>
This place is near the Kro Bao Village Peam Pagoda for those who want to see a typical village pagoda in the countryside outside Siem Reap.<br>
