Rabbit Island, what to say? peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. Although it wasnt like that from the start. We arrived on the island on the saturday of chinese new year, Kep itself on the mainland had already been very busy and we had already told ourselves it would be busy over the weekend, but we wern't quite prepared for what it was actually like.

Once the bus pulled up we were once again bombarded with people trying to get your attention by shoving signs infront of your face, they are all tuktuk men who want to take you to certain hotels so they can get a commission.
