At long last, almost exactly 1 month after The Trip, we
have reached the 3rd and final blog entry on my adventures in
Cambodia. Admittedly, the last leg of my vacation was likely the least
adventuresome/ancient, but also the most enjoyable, so I will try to convince
you of the amazingness of Kampot, not with danger and intrigue, but with tales
of recreation & relaxation and, of course, more pictures. Off we go…
With the beauty of Angkor Wat thoroughly recorded on my
camera, it was time to get my relaxation on, Cambodia style. I was tipped off
to the glory that is the Southeastern Cambodian town of Kampot by a close
friend who will remain nameless for no particular reason (love the phrase “who
will remain nameless”) and decided that I would spend 3 days experiencing what
it had to offer before spending the last 1.5 days of my trip in Phnom Pehn,
Cambodia’s capitol and my point of departure. So I organized an overnight
“sleeper bus” from Siem Reap to the coastal town of Sihanoukville,
where I would connect on to Kampot. I was promised a “bed” on the bus, but as I
don’t usually consider buses a suitable place for a suitable bed, I was
skeptical regarding the actual comfort level of the seating (or bedding) situation.
My skepticism, as usual, was validated upon boarding the bus..
