Kampot

Caught the 1130 bus from S-ville with Fiona and Brenda, a tiny minibus stuffed with 16 people and arrived in Kampot a couple hours later.  We were dropped off along the river and walked to Olly's which was full for the night but available the next night so we paid a deposit for a room the next night. Ate lunch up the road at Bodhi (split a fish sandwich and a hummus plate with Brenda, both of which were excellent). In town we checked out a couple of backpacker places but none were good value for the money.  Found Long Villa, where the bus first tried to drop us off and $5 for a night we took it.  Not terribly clean (had a water fight with a cockroach later in the night and a worm in the drain) but it was only for one night (no pictures).


Went to dinner at the Rusty Keyhole which was suggested by a friend of Fiona's.  I had delicious khmer curry and Andy had pork bbq tacos. We all sat around and chatted and just had a lovely evening.  In the morning we ate breakfast at the villa (banana pancakes which were more like crepes, and muesli).  Once checked into Olly's, we hung out by the river and relaxed, planning on renting motorbikes the next day.


Andy and Fiona ordered dinner from Olly's around 5 (Andy had chicken lemongrass) and around 730 we went over to Bodhi for Brenda and I to eat.  We all ordered more food.  I had pasta (just okay), Andy had spring rolls, Brenda had a huge burger, and Fiona had "bruschetta" which was actually a baguette with sliced tomato, cheese and spices on top.  We all split chocolate rum balls which I thought were fantastic.
