Kampot
Today Dee was feeling better so we decided to leave where we were due to the rain.
we booked a taxi to the village of Kompot about 100Km away in a national park, jungle stuff.
The Taxi came and drove for 30 mins around town before stopping at the local taxi rank where we were told that he was waiting for more people to come. He said 4 sit in front and 5 in the back. This is a Toyota Camray, I dont think you can fit 9 in there. I am wrong. so we stared being squeezed in the back and ended up haveing to buy the 'empty' back seats so we could have some room. $4 taxi ended up costing $15 odd. Its the classic Cambodian taxi scam and we were dumb enough not to see it coming.
We finally made Kampot that evening, really quite , really small town under thing great big mountian plateau, really nice. No phones, internet, bars, tourists or life in general but we ended up staying in a nice french colonial villa. easy nite that night just dinner and we had the TV room to ourselves which was cool.
