Kampot

Arriving in Kampot we found the most beautifull place called Rikitikitavi, only to find out that it was fully booked :-(. However, that didn't stop us from having breakfast, lunch, dinner and great cocktails on the 1st floor terrace!The place is owned by and English guy and his Dutch lady who turned out to come from our lovely hometown Leiden!



Kampot is old colonial style, and just plain old colonial. Most buildings look like they have been build by the French and that . the last maintanance was done by the French, French style ;-). Probably, the romantic touch and old city will be gone in a few years when 'development' (sounds too positive doens't it?) has taken over


From Kampot, we took a motorcycle for a 25km ride to Kep, the old sea resort, turned into ruins during the Khmer Rouge period. Here we had a coconut on the beach and met a group of young munks, with their photographer friend. I was invited for the photoshoot (girls and munks is not a really good combination) and Anna took some pictures of us as well. No swim, but it was good seeing the sea again after being in a hot country for a couple of weeks without a sea breeze.
