Kampot - Blogabond

Kampot has a completely different feel to it than Kep. The centre of town is less green & feels more industrious, & it's It's certainly a lot bigger & more developed - but the 'things to do' list is relatively small. It was until we got to Pnomh Penh that we learned Kampot literally went from being a hub of activity to a ghost town when Pol Pot's army ordered everyone to leave, and to be honest it still has that kind of atmosphere…….a deserted dusty town that you'd expect to see tumble weeds fly past at any minute.

That's not to say that we didn't enjoy ourselves here. We hired a moped and discovered some really lovely places, a few hidden temples and at very pretty area near to the River that seemed to be where the locals picnic-ed. Again, it rained quite a bit but that gave us the chance to watch the England v's Scotland rugby match and re-discover our love for tequila. Oh dear!
