Last night over our lush farewell dinner at the amazing 'Nest' we talked about the trip and our impressions of the special moments for each of us; 

Marcia started off with the sunset ride in the evening on the second day of riding where we were all riding along together, there was a team spirit, it was dusty and gritty and the children were gorgeous and the pace was exhilerating and the water buffalo strolled out of the water......

Vic said she realised that she had resliience that she did not know existed previously and that she can now achieve anything. You go Vic! Vic also loved riding through our guides village and seeing the gift of smiles on the childrens faces.

Judith, after no training at all and a really tough first day of riding was proud of herself to get back on the bike and keep on giving it a go.

Viviene loved the riding and was fascinated by the people and culture and how happy they are here and how willing they are to learn.

Jo felt the first orphanage was the highlight of the trip and says it was wonderful, the characters of the children, and their generosity in connecting with us and how much they need and crave love.

Mimi was thrilled to finally reach that place while riding of 'the zone' where the mind stops its internal chatter, and now knows she can reach that place whenever she needs to.

Kim was the first to be struck down with gastro early on our ride and her special moment was forcing herself to continue on riding despite it and enjoying the moments and culture. She was thrilled not to miss out.

Cathy's special moment involved the whole trip and revolved around the celebration of the feminine and being a women. With 7 other women it was a privelege to share this experiece with new friends, share the emotions, and embrace who we are.

We also talked about how to do more.

This country relies on foreign support, and has outsourced the production of most of its natural resources etc. Se talked about setting up a website so that people can donate parcels of tioletry items, shade cloth and fans for the schools, we even spoke about learning more about the Cambodia Clean Water Project.

We have all felt, learned and grown in ways we could not have imagined while here and Cambodia will stay with us always!

Love and hugs to all, we will be home soon Cathy :)

From Justine, Jamie, Belinda and the Inspired Team, congratulations on completing you challenge, we have loved being able to hear about your journey as you go and sharing it with the world. You are all awesome!
