Kampot is a small town further down the river from Kampong Speu. It is just a little gem. Shiela and I decided that we needed a break and as we had a long weekend off we went.

Friday night was spent with Vicki and her young friend Nicko in PP. It was great to see her looking so well and obviously looking forward to seeing Josh.

Saturday morning saw Shiela and I in the Post bus on our way to Kampot. We arrived and booked into Samon Village. We had booked a twin room with a bathroom. What we got was a fabulous house built on stilts. The twin room is on two levels so it feels like two rooms. I went upstairs (up ladder actually!!) and found a mattress on the floor and no external walls just sticks to stop all but the most hardened burglar. It was so airy and actuall cool enough that I didn't miss AC - however I did use the mosquito net for the first time in Cambodia.

I have to say it has been a very lazy weekend with massages and food being the order of both days. If you have the time and you just want to relax - find time to visit Kampot.
