My first Larb We got back on the giant ibis bus to take us back to Phnom Penn, the journey took about 3.5 hours as we got stuck in the traffic around by the airport back into town, but otherwise uneventful. This gave us about 2.5 hours before we would go back towards the same airport (that awkward amount of time where just waiting is too long but doing anything is a rush). When we were in Siem Reap visiting the ancient temples we read that various remains (bits...

Crabs, Curry & Cambodian (Beer) We got a driver of a tuk-tuk to take us to the nearby town of Kep, he suggested he took his car as the road wasn't great for a tuk tuk. I think it was much more enjoyable doing it that way (also strange to be on 4 wheels again). Kep is known for it crab markets, It was a hub of activity. Wooden crab cages being emptied along with lots of other stores selling live, cooked and dried fish, fresh fruits and some other bits. We...

Tuk'n in the side of the country Based on our failed tour of the previous day we decided it would be best going it alone for our next tour.

Either way Mr Heng arrived on time so he was already one better than the other tour company. We drove for about 10 minutes east o...

Ascending Bokor for no reason In the morning we fell victim to the legendary "Asian Time" or Cambodian time as the locals call it (thats a lie). Being up, dressed and eaten by 7:45 ready for our tour, we were waiting for about a hour. Thats 30 minutes after we were told the driver was on his way picking up people. We were the first people in the minibus so maybe he was dreaming! About another 45-60 minutes later the bus was full to the brim as we started our 1,1...

Bin vs Gecko. A lazy start to the day had us wandering out in the blazing sun around 11am. The temperature over the last few days feels like its picked up into the 30's but its hard to know when you only have a bbc weather app that lies constantly. Like the previous night Kampot still looked sleepy in the day time, and was a welcome sight to us both. We walked up to the local market, passing a roundabout on the way that has a giant durian fruit as its centrep...
