Another town.. Kampot

Crab kisses! Not sure the guy next to us had ever had a crab kiss



The journey to Kep was full of wonderful scenes such as this

 After 3 very nice days and nights with Joey on the beach with plenyy of sand,  sea, cocktails sun and fun, we headed yesterday morningoff to another  town called Kampot a couple hours drive away.
It was so funny, we booked a mini bus through one of the bars and when it arrived at 8am it was so dilapidated and full of locals J said would surely only be takingus to the bus station to pick up th real coach.

But no, we were to travel in a 9 seater mini bus that in total had 14 adults and 2 children crammed in it
and looked as though it would fall apart at any minute. We just kept laughing as it seemed every time we stopped and thought some one was getting out another person with bags got in!

Really funny, and we got here ok.

Kampot is a run down old French colonial town, very laid back and wonderful friendly people.

Last night was J's Birthday so I treated him to fab dinner in fab restaurant over looking river. We had cocktails at sunset (seems to be the norm for now) and fab food.

I got talking to the couple next to us from OZ, been  married 31 years and couldn't believe we had known eachother less than a week.. So funny as they dont usually drink and ended up having 3 cocktails each, she was hillarious and quite drunk.

Cooked crabs mmmmm....

The crabs before they were cooked straight from the sea 

Today we went in tuk tuk to town called Kep famous for fresh crab and pepper. we visited pepper plantation and had 20 fresh prawns, 3 crab all cooked from fresh $6, and ate them on sea front,  bloody fab! 

I have met a fellow raw carrot eater, yippee!



Beautiful all around

These two guys were preparing the crab traps that go inside the crab basket seen in the foreground which are then put backinto the sea to keep them alive and fresh
