Ghost stories: the living and the dead

I was half way between Kampot and Kep, little towns in the middle of nowhere...so that meant that I am truly in the middle of the middle of nowhere. I had met two Swiss guys on my way to Kampot from Sihanoukville and we had decided that we should go exploring, so we rented two motorbikes and off we went...until we got the flat. Which is why I ended up standing outside of a little shack that acted as garage, gas station, and distillery (yes, the liquid in the vat to the side of the house was r...

The Long and Winding (bumpy) Road

Set off at 8.30 for the Bokor National Park and abandend hill station. There were two no shows for which they wanted to increase the price of the trip for the others. Unsuprisingly we all declined, that said the guide did say he was only asking and was still running the trip. That left six of us setting off in the back of a Nissan version of a Toyota hilux. At the park entrance there was another $5 fee, then it was a 21km drive up one of the bumpiest roads I've been on in a long time. It was ...

Sleepy Kampot



7.10am Hua Lin bus Arr 12.30pm Kampot Bumpy road.
I lay on the back seat to have a nap & my whole body was airborne at times & my heavy backpack with my laptop also got airborne & landed on the floor

Last hour beautiful karst mountain scenery & brilliant green paddy fields

We all had to get off bus & walk over a damaged bridge that was under repair. - there was another bus waiting for us which was pretty impressive!

Island Paradise, but it rains a lot.

... and figured we’d also be getting quite stir crazy if we stuck around our room all day. We actually made it into town, ate lunch at a place called Chez Carole’s, and on the way back while cutting through to the beach, discovered a big cage with monkeys inside and out (fed two of them Pringles which was all we had—where’s a banana when you need it anyway?), and got most of the way down the beach toward the resort before it really began to rain. By the time we ...

Entering 'Nam

... tuk shouting at us and the driver and were quite aggressive. We told them that we wouldn't sort anything out till we had passed through the border, we didn't really want to hire a ride on a motorcycle as neither Mei nor I had ever been on one before, they didn't look particularly trustworthy and we had our massive bags to carry.
We passed through the border relatively easily although the Cambodian police asked us lots of questions and wanted to know how we had found out about this ...

Football for Peace

... such luxuries as running water and a clean place to take a dump and don't know what to do with it! I did another craft project with the kids too - making a mobile paper flies - even the idea that flies are dirty and can make you sick was a new concept!! It is therefore not surprising that most of the kids look like they are around 8 yrs old but are actually well into their adolecence - the only give away is the squeaky shrieks of the boys ha!

So the football - there was a ...

Misty memories (with credit to Team America)

... our staple starter of spring rolls the power tripped three times. There are no planes down south after the one to Shianoukville crashed into the mountains a few years ago and the roads (as previously noted) are dire. Despite this the richest man in Cambodia is developing a huge resort in the "National park" outside town. We found out that the company building the road for the new resort had opened the road for the next day and that we would be able to ...

Rory Is Not A Girls Name

... post and will be of little interest to most people reading this, but, he was a ****. He was the most flowery spoken person I have ever seen, heard of, imagined or seen on the TV, everything was a hand gesture, expression was first and foremost, always at the front of his mind, he tried to deliver every sentence as dramatically as possible, and it was partly cringe inducing, partly human theatre, maybe that's what he was aiming at, if so well done, but he had the lead role in a ...

Mud Beneath Sands; Dirt Roads to Nowhere

I was looking at some pics of Kampot; one was of a mound of garbage piled mile-high. I failed to come across the area where the pic was taken. It didn't annoy my experience of Kampot in the slightest.
It was fairly hair-raising trying to drive a scooter on rough dirt roads, but using one up and down a broken road in China, aided any lack of inhibition or danger I may have felt. More rough riding was to follow once we ...

To a lake and to some, eh, 'waterfalls.'

I really should be enhancing these posts by putting up some accompanying photos. Laziness has crept in, I guess, but I'll get round to it. I showed my mum pics of those poor kids with rubbish sacks when leaving Phnom Penh. She didn't think they looked unhappy judging by their grinning smiling faces, and said some proverbial expression like:
'I grumbled because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. They've never known what it ...
