Hanging on for dear life:
Monsoon rains flooded the road south towards Battambang, forcing us to take the grossly overloaded ferry across Lake Tonle Sap.

The Tonle Sap River joins the mighty Mekong in Phnom Penh. Each year, as the seasons shift from wet to dry and the Mekong's levels fluctuate dramatically, the Tonle Sap's flow reverses direction. The receding waters leave behind a concentration of thousands of trapped fish and a fertile bed of river sand (like the banks of the Nile) for cultivation of peanuts, vegetables and other summer crops.
