Today was going to be a do nothing kind of day with another visit to the crab market. A morning budget update and check of cash bought concern as we had little local currency left and we knew that there wasn't an ATM let alone a bank in Kep! We managed to scrape by to pay the room bill and the tickets for our onward journey to the boarder where we could use the Vietnamese Dong that we had left from when we were in the north. So today started as another travel da...

It's day #30 today; one month in, two to go! We got up casually, showered and drank tea by the riverside while lounging in a hammock. After checking out of 'Olly's place' we headed into Kampot town and grabbed an amazing breakfast! 3*boiled eggs and soldiers cooked to perfection with tasty real butter, 3 banana pancakes with chocolate, and a juicy local fruit platter. The deal breaker was the pot of tea, Twinnings English breakfast with fresh milk!!! We jumped...

Today unfortunately was time to leave Koh Rong Island.

While waiting for our local taxi to gain some mor...

We started our (1st whole) day on Koh Rong Island with a deliciously refreshing fruit platter for breakfast. Included was: pink dragon fruit, white dragon fruit, banana, melon, mango, papaya, pineapple. $2's for a mountain load! The best fruit of my life! Straight after breakfast we headed to our p...

After a long and good nights sleep we were up naturally at the crack of dawn. The sun was out and only with a few scattered clouds. With the weather looking to be on our side we made the decision to get out of nookville (as its nicknamed) and jump onboard the 8am boat to Koh Rong Island. 2.5hours later we docked at the tiny peer on Koh Rong Island. Koh translates to 'Island', and I can only guess Rong translates to 'Awesome'!! Turquoise waters and miles of whit...
