Right, well this is the first of four short blogs to fill the two week gap between Kampot, Cambodia and Dalat, Vietnam. As I'm sure any other traveller will testify, it is far too easy to get swept along on your own personal 'journey', and completely forget to communicate with anyone for a weeks at a time...Kep was our last stop before crossing the border into Vietnam.

We didn't take any photos today. Today we had a bit of a history lesson on the crimes, and general insanity, of the Khmer Rouge regime, which has left some obvious scars on the Cambodian people.
