Last night we explored our surroundings around the city centre and down to the river in kampot. It's a lot smaller than we thought and you can walk around the main streets and get down to the river in about 10 minutes. We had heard of a place called Ta Ouv that offered cheap and tastey food. It's a cool place down on the river that is on stilts and raised above the Teuk Chhou River giving a great view of the bridges that cross it whilst the whole place is lit up ...

I will start with what we done yesterday. We woke late as I had'nt had much sleep due to a gout attack like no other.

We woke up late to catch the bus to the border crossing due to the fact we met a group of travelers on our last night in Bangkok at our digs. One drink lead to another, the conversation was flowing and before we knew it, it was 4am. We were supposed to get up at 10am to catch the bus but slept through our alarm and rushed out of bed at 12.50.pm. We collected our things tog...
