Smelly, sweaty and sunburnt...

See you!

Escape from Sihanoukville, no escape from April!
With half of the gang reunited, and Andrew the Canadian an addition, off we set for the comfortable mini bus to Kampot. The 3 hour journey went quick, but when we got off it looked like we were stuck in the middle of nowhere. Feeling confused, we all ...
