Kampot

A 2 hour bus ride from the beach and we arrived in Kampot. We passed lots of lush ,green countryside on the way that was so beautiful. A short walk across the river from the bus stop and we found a place to stay. Right on the river bank and the view is 'to die for'. You can swim in the river too but are there crocodiles? Nah!!! (At least we hope not!)

We lazed around for the rest of the morning, enjoying the cool breeze kindly provided by the river.

In the afternoon we walked back to the village to see what we could find and read a locally written (expat) guide book, which was very funny.

It was a little more difficult finding our way back in the dark with no lights lining the road, but it gave us the opportunity to enjoy watching the amazing fireflies. And, the road was so quiet we could listen to the wonderful natural world around us, which was wonderful!

Later in the evening we listened to a live band at the cottages next door and got chatting to another primary school teacher and her friends, before returning home.
