Kids, Caves and Palm Wine
This is a top pick! ... not quite but so refreshing followed by an 'Apocalypse Now' style boat trip down the Mekong - stunning. To see the rest of Kampot and Kep (tiny town near by)we went with two guides on bikes. I say guides but the guide shope was a tiny shack with a list ...
Ghost stories: the living and the dead

Kampot Kristmas - Kep, Krabs and Kreps
This is a top pick! ... ! The greatest part of the day was the bamboo train we took back to Battambang. There is only 1 train and 1 track in Northern Cambodia and it travels to Battambang from Phnom Penh on one day and in the opposite direction the next. The locals take full ...

Back to the seaside
This is a top pick! ... east. We could even see the casino in the town of Neak Luong inside Vietnam. It seems that just about the whole of Cambodia is one flat plain interspersed with a few dimply hills. The walk took us through sheltered glades of creeper infested trees and a ...

Adventures in Healthcare
Four days before I was due to start work I noticed an angry red spot on my back directly on my spine. A blind pimple? A bite? Who knows but it hurt. And then it grew and grew until it was the size and shape of half an advocado. And it really hurt so that ...
