Yet again, we bypassed Phnom Penh and travelled straight from Siem Reap to Kampot to meet up with Neil, an old school friend of Andy's.

On va aujourd'hui a la station climatique de Bokor, situee a 1080m d'altitude, lieu de jeux et detente des autorites francaises, avec ses hotels et casinos. Des milliers de cambodgiens ont trouve la mort lors de la construction penible de la route qui menait au lieu de villegiature des Francais. C'est d'ailleurs cette route qu'on prend pour mont...

Relax And Enjoy The Ride! Stop gathering information. I don't have to know or understand everything to be fully connected to joyfulness.

Hey all you blog fans out there. Hope the annticipation of my next entry wasn't to much for you all? This will be my attempt to bring everyone up to date and let them know where I am and what I have been doing. So, after spending the X-mas Holiday in Sihanookville, the decision was made that we neeeded a change of pace. We packed up a local taxi...

Hello, We have just spent the last few days in the chilled out town of Kampot in the south of Cambodia. On the way here we passed through Kep once a favourite with the French as a beachside retreat you can see the former glory days from the large ornate walls and gates that are most of what is left nowadays. In Kampot we took a day trip up to Bo...

Hired motorbike to go to Kep (25km away). 1st stop was at some food stalls by the sea, which had a distinct lack of beach. Whilst we were there we bumped into Lizzie (from the Bokor trip) and agreed to meet at the main beach. When we got there we were immediatly offerred a trip to Rabbit Island for $20. After a bot of a wander down the front we ...

KAMPOT 30 April to 4 May Got a share taxi on Monday from Sihanoukville to Kampot. It gave the word 'share' a whole new meaning for me. When it turned up, and was just a normal car and already had 7 people in it, I asked them if I was going to fit in and they assured me it was no problem. So we squeezed in and it was a bit of a squash. About 10 m...

Hi all, sorry I've been a bit of a slacker in the last week. I'll try and get you caught up, although my camera's back at my guesthouse and the internet is expensive, so no pictures today. Sorry! Cambodian new year was April 14th. It was a lot of fun - pretty much an excuse for the entire population to throw a three day party. The new year usual...

This morning I took a roller coaster to Kampot, about 160 kilometers from Phnom Penh. I thought I was taking a bus - I booked a bus ticket, I went to a bus station, and I got on a bus. It was only when we started moving that I realized I was really on an amusement park ride... I don't know if the shocks in the bus were worn out, or if somebody h...

Well we took a bus to Kampot to see Bokor, in Bokor National Park, which is an abandoned town that was built by the French in the 20's! It was really cool. It was 2 hour there and two hours back, which was awful because it was all done on a dirt road full of huge bumps. We almost didn't make it and were stranded in the jungle on the the way up b...
