Kampot, googling suggested, was not exactly overburdened with tourist attractions. But we’d known that before we came here, viewing it as a reasonably chilled way of segueing back into the world of motor vehicles ‘n that after our week on the island. Still, the Old Market, when we reached it, came as a bit of […]

Starting with the return journey to the ferry terminal, itself beginning with a haul up the rocky path that almost finished us off on our way to Sunset Beach. It was actually less challenging going up than down – none of the juddering impacts of the over-high ‘steps’ – but only till we noticed the
Funny thing, time. After watching our last Koh Rong Sanloem sunset I said to V “It’s funny – after we’d been here a couple of days I was thinking ‘How are we going to occupy ourselves here for a week?’ Now I’m sitting here thinking ‘Another week wouldn’t hurt.’” But that really is all, folks.

Laid back or what? As per, nothing to report. We haven’t quite got round to those treks through the jungle, and even today’s yoga fell by the wayside after the mat was occupied by grunting yoot this morning then I cried off on our return from the beach, pleading fatigue after two jolly energetic swims.
We’re a very adaptable species. After two months and change of flying here and bussing there and doing this and doing that and seeing this and trying that and exploring here and checking out there we now find ourselves in a place where there’s really nowhere to go and nothing to do and…it’s really very
You don’t really appreciate how much and how often you turn to it till suddenly it’s not there. Reading (the third) Wolf Hall and suddenly ‘Mary, Mary, quite contrary’ comes to mind, and I think wasn’t that something to do with a Tudor? And half-reach for the phone, but nope – no internet. We only

…in that the pic comes from sunset yesterday. Necessary because for the first time on this entire trip I haven’t taken a single photo today. It’s been a quiet one. The night wasn’t that quiet: we were woken in the small hours by a torrential downpour, leaving us quaking in our hut under our rush
…and nuthin’s plenty for us. Ho yus. Bin pretty full on ever since we arrived in Cambodia – all cities ‘n culture & no rest for the wicked, so it’s nice to find ourselves in a place where there’s really very little to do but chill. Made a heuuluva start to it last night –

This is one of the others. We are in a proper exclusive resort tonight. Exclusive not by price or prestige, but because getting to the place demands a one mile plus schlep across the middle of an island, including the section in the pic – 10-15 minutes of rock-strewn descent which would defeat all but

…the most striking image you’ve managed to capture is of the loo in the onsweet of your new hotel room. Then again, it is a pretty striking image. Don’t think I’ve ever had – or indeed, for that matter, even seen – a golden bog before. That aside, it’s been a pretty humdrum day. The
