Pedal for Prostate : The final days

The day started even earlier than usual for the majority of the group to view the sunrise over Angkor Wat. A few of us, myself included didn't make the journey to view the sunrise as the previous nights festivities took hold and sleep was the only option.

Angkor Wat was a sea of people ready to view the sunrise, during this time the group paid tribute to Simon Buckley who was killed in a motorcycle accident whilst touring the world in support of the PCFA. After breakfast the day was free for all to do as they please. Shopping, drinking, eating, walking, massages, recovery and rest best sum up what was done. 

Many members had a wonderful experience by visiting a remarkable lady who operates an orphanage of 40 children. Those who attended were extremely touched by this remarkable lady, the children and the entire experience. 

We all re-grouped at 6.45pm for the ''Gala'' Dinner... Everyone was looking a million dollars in the t-shirts gifted to all by Mrs Jo. Thanks again Jo.

The boys Vutha, Lee and Uncle took us to yet another fabulous restaurant where we enjoyed more local dishes, took a heap of photos (thank you Peter), and shared more stories about our day and overall experiences.

Great speeches were made and gifts given to the boys who were very grateful. Then as we paid the bill and headed for the bus the night took another turn... Karaoke!!!!

Uncle drove us down a few back alleys where we arrived at an the Karaoke centre that was lit up like a Christmas Tree. The entrance was a sea of go go girls dressed to impress which was interesting to say the least. The no bombs sign as you entered certainly settled the nerves and off we went into our private room set up with dance floor, DJ, salmon chips and plenty of beer. 

The next few hours was hilarious. There were a few stand out performances from Jo and Peter, but the dark horse Conor certainly took the bull by the horns and she smashed out song after song. Uncle looked like a seasoned campaigner and performed at ease, if there is a Cambodian Idol - he's a winner. Susan Boyle look out.

This has been a magnificent experience enjoyed with a great bunch of people and one that I will never forget. Thank you to all. See you in Oz and Stephen hopefully I'll see you in the US. 

Cheers guys & girls
