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. We commandeered a Tuk-Tuk driver the night before to take us into the countryside, we got him for a decent price although I failed to meet the other objective of him having good English skills. 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...

From Penh to Pot Back on the Giant Ibis bus at 14:45 for our 2.5 hour journey to Kampot, Southern Cambodia. The first hour was spent getting through traffic in Phnom Penn (still minor compared to Manila), and then waiting to have some air put in the tyres - how exciting! The journey took a lot longer than we thought because of this, but the roads were much better and not full of the dust that I had written about on the way into PP. The journey ended in similar...
