Today we are in Kampot, on a river near the ocean. Yesterday we took a minibus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, and then a cab from Phnom Penh to Kampot. The photos were taken in the market in the birthplace of Pol Pot. They are of lotus blossoms, and roasted crickets.
It is beautiful here in Kampot. Many of the buildings are still vacant, but on the whole it is quieter and more relaxed. Our hotel is heavenly -- a huge tiled terrace covered with a thatched roof. Room adequate with two large beds. Price: $20/day. We think we will stay in this area until Barbara returns to Bangkok. From there, I will probably head up to Chiang Mai.
