Our World Tuesday: Kampot riverside

During the Chinese New Year, my husband and I drove to Kampot for a daytrip. Kampot is a sleepy town in the southern coast of Cambodia. It has the kind of sleepiness that lure a city-dweller to its small-town and chill atmosphere.

My husband and I left Phnom Penh very early in the morning and arrived in Kampot around 10am. It was cold (perhaps below 15C) early morning and it was breezy all the way through. Hagrid, our Honda motorbike, was running smoothly.

The weather was actually very pleasant and great for a motorbike ride around Kampot town and Kep. A trip to these towns wouldn’t be complete without a meal at our favourite Espresso Cafe and Kim Ly’s restaurant.

This is one of our favourite spots in Kampot – the promenade at the riverside. We chanced upon these floating in the water:

In the background you can see the outline of Phnom Bokor (Bokor Mountain) and the new bridge in the middle-ground. In the foreground are “floats” in the shape of rumdul, Cambodia’s national flower.

Kep, Cambodia

To be honest, I kinda like this weather. I call it the lazy weather – it’s wet outside and cold (but not as cold as experienced in the West)- and a very good excuse to stay in bed, with a book to read on one hand and warm chocolate beverage on the other to give me warmth. This is the very reason why, when I was younger, my dad coined me another nickname, the snake, lol.
