Kep Hotels - Reviews and Rates

It's been a long time since I was in Asia last (three years) and I don't think I had prepared myself for the sensory assault of arriving in a sweaty, dusty, filthy, crowded place. Central Market We got a taxi directly to the bus station to catch a bus to Kep, the seaside town we had booked accommodation in. The next bus left in a couple of hours...

After leaving Phu Quoc island because of the storm clouds we headed for a newly opened crossing into Cambodia. Although from our moto-ride in, Cambodia felt excitingly different from Vietnam, Kep seemed to have little to offer.  However it turns out we did eat our best meal of Cambodia here in a little shack overhanging the waters edge.

Oh and Paul has become an addict. It's icy and orange an...

I got up bright and early because I knew it was going to be a long day of driving. I got a moto to Luck! Lucky! Motorbike shop, and got myself a nice, blue 250cc dirt bike. The shop didn't seem concerned about my lack of driving licence or having never driven a bike with a clutch before. I got the bike for a week, but I may keep it a bit longer....
