Based off Zoe's friend Jamal's suggestion we decided to make Kampot our next stop. Kampot is a sleepy little town situated on the river, but we didn't mind that after coming from the capital. We hired a motorbike, and saw Bokor National Park. This place was a bit creepy. It's quite remote and has an abandoned church and casino. There is also a new casino that has absolutely no business being there.

We spent the rest of our time in Kampot unwinding, before deciding to go to Kep, which had beaches for us to relax on. Apart from the beaches Kep, is famous for its seafood, especially its crab, and we helped ourselves to plenty.
After deciding that we were done lazing it up in Kep, we moved on to Sihanoukville. Where as Kep was more family oriented, and a place where Cambodians went to vacation, Sihanoukville, was clearly geared toward foreigners. It was a bit more touristy, but I didn't mind. We were only there to enjoy the beach anyway. The only thing that was slightly annoying were the kids constantly begging or trying to sell us things. We didn't buy anything because it was crap they were selling and also buying stuff would only encourage them to stay on the beach selling, when they should be in school.
After about three weeks in Cambodia, it was time to head to Thailand, the last country in our three month journey!
