Tren de Bambu - Bamboo Train - Battambang

Tren de Bambu - Bamboo Train

Tren de Bambu - Bamboo train

Esto es un transporte muy especial , ya que utilizan las vias del ferrocarril para montar en un instante el " Tren de bambu" que se desplaza a una buena velocidad por las vias del tren
Esta formado por dos ejes con sus ruedas , una plataforma de Bambu y un motor con una polea ( a los "Guiris" nos ponen una especie de alfombra )
Si viene el tren grande esta claro quien desmonta pero si es otro Tren de Bambu tienen que negociar cual de los dos es mas facil de descargar y de desmontar
Este transporte es para la gente del lugar

This is a very spetial transport , because they use the rail ways to assembly very quickly the " Bamboo Train " that is moving at a reasonable speed by the railways .
It is made with two shafts and their wheels , a bamboo platform and a motor with a pulley ( for the tourists they put some kind of carpet )
If a big train comes it is clear who disassemble but if it is another Bamboo Train , they must discuss which of them is easier to unload and disassembly
This transport is used by thelocal people

La mejor forma de desplazarse por los alrededores de Battambang es con un motero .Hablan ingles y te ensenan toda la zona , tanto los sitios turísticos como aquellos en los que puedes ver la vida y costumbres locales
Nos llevaron Sun y Thony que nos hicieron muy agradable e interesante el tiempo que pasamos con ellos

"Lancha Rapida" - Fast Boat 1 - Battambang

"Lancha Rapida" - Fast Boat 1

Al sol - To the sun

Para nosotros lo dificil fue coger la lancha en el puerto ya que se retraso la furgoneta y en medio del barullo que hay en el puerto , se nos fue nuestra lancha y cogimos la de la competencia . Un gran barullo pero al final salimos rumbo a Battambang
Como el barco estaba lleno fuimos en lel techo que es desde donde mejor se ven todas las vistas del Tonle Sap , que son muchas , muy variadas e interesantes
Si piensas hacer el viaje en el techo no te olvides de la crema solar , el sombrero , si puede ser algun cojin o algo para estar mas comodo y algo para comer y beber en el camino , aunque hacen una parada en la que puedes comprar algo

For us the most difficult it was to take the fast boat in the jetty because our van it was delayed and in the middle of the chaos , our boat departured and we took the one of the competitors . A great racket but at the end we left to Battambang
As the boat it was full , we went in the roof that is the best place to see all the Tonle Sap views that are many , very different and very interesting
If you are thinking to go in the roof of a fast boat do not forget the suntan cream , the hat , if possible a cushion or something to be comfortable and something to eat and drink on the way , though the boat stops and you may buy something
