Today was a nice leisurely start to the day as Tony had hired a motorbike yesterday we were free to leave when it suited the both of us. The intention today was to visit the caves between Kampot and Kep and also go to a little beach called Ankaul Beach just the other side of Kep. The plan was to use a tourist map to get there and take the short cut... We made it to Kep without finding the caves since there were no signs to turn off of the main highway (well not ...

As usual in great tradition the bus was late to collect me to go to Kampot. Over an hour in fact. Although there were only 4 of us on the bus I was kind of glad it was the 4 of us. I got chatting to a guy who works at the Casino built on the top of Bokor mountain and he told me exactly how it was, so it's saved me a trip up there for sure!

When it rains quite heavily, all the frogs come out and start making noise, it is so loud that when we first heard it we thought it was the cows making noise! I woke and realised that to...

After an interesting bus journey from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville I was thinking I had made the wrong choice. I went to Otres Beach which is the quieter of the beaches in Sihanoukville and supposed to be the most beautiful but it was pouring with rain and wouldn't stop raining for the first two days of me being here. The hostel though...now here's a hidden gem. Only 7 months old and built and owned by an American called Chris. Moonlight Rock, across the road fro...
