Kep - Blogabond

We travelled across the Vietnamese border into Cambodia with no problems, and got taken to the gorgeous bungalows we were staying at for the next 3 days. They were seconds away from the sea (there wasn't really a beach), and only about 15 minutes walk from the infamous Crab Market. Here you can see the locals catching, buying & selling fresh crab (you don't say?!) and other seafood, at a very noisy & frantic pace. We of course sampled the fish, which couldn't have been any more fresh or tasty than it was.

We explored the beautiful lush countryside - there was a 10k walk we did around the national park that had amazing views, and we also hired Mountain bikes & followed the dusty road out of Kep into the next village.
In between all of our sight seeing it did rain quite a lot, but that didn't really stop us from doing anything. In fact on the first day we arrived it gave us an excuse to take refuge in the 'Veranda' hotel, where we'd only really gone to to withdraw some money………but then the rain came down, and they served relatively cheap red wine. And so we stayed put for the next 4 hours :-)

Kep was definitely a highlight of Cambodia for us. Although there was very few sights to visit or 'things to do' the scenery was stunning and kept us very happy.
