Our very first washing machine arrived by truck in Pramaoy, so we hopped in the Ape and headed down the mountain to get the goods.
Back To Dust Town 😷
Something the wife and I have always wanted is a washing machine, and now that we're finally cashing out our HBD, it is one of the first things we purchased. Unfortunately the nearest shipping destination was Pramaoy, so we had to make a trip back to town just for this item. Along the way I made sure to stop at a massive tree that I've been thinking is hollow inside.
I pulled over as I neared the tree site, and upon closer inspection it was actually hit by lightning, and what I thought was a shadow was actually burnt areas. I guess my dream of a secret hollow tree hideout will have to remain a dream for now.
Don't Forget Routine Maintenance 👨🔧
When we arrived in Pramaoy we stopped by our rental room to turn off the water, close the circuit breaker, and give the key back to our landlord. When I was in the room I noticed an oil change sticker for my Ape that I had peeled off and stuck to the door. It's almost impossible to read now, but I think I'll be changing the engine oil at 4,348 km.
Washing Machine An Easy Load 👌
Hard to believe I've already put 4,000km on the Ape, but so far so good, and it's proven to be a reliable and efficient family vehicle. By the end of the year it will have already paid for itself in all the saved bus, taxi, and transport fees we would've spent without the Ape. We stopped by the bus station to get our washing machine, got a few things in the market, and then dashed back to the mountains.
Back At Steung Kach 🧘♂️
It's the rainy season here in Cambodia, and the river changes almost instantly with the the fluctuations in rainfall. From muddy to crystal clear in 24 hours, I always love checking in on the river to see how it's changed and how it's flowing.
I should mention I'm a former whitewater rescue technician and paddler, and I can't help but imagine how I'd paddle it if I had access to a kayak. It would be very possible during highwater conditions, but not with the flow like in the above photo.
🛻 The Plant Truck Brings Treasures 🌴
When you live somewhere very remote like us, sellers of various kinds often drive by with a speaker blasting out information about what products they have for sale. You can get everything from soy sauce to a bed frame if you keep your ears and eyes open, and that's how we scored a "doang ktih," translated literally as "coconut milk" in English.
This variety of coconut is sometimes 3 or 4 times more expensive than regular varieties, and it is used in a very well-known coconut shake that is hard to find. Cambodians will pay several dollars for a coconut shake made from a "doang ktih" variety, so we might as well be growing the more expensive coconuts right?
