EPIC arts cafe brunch

Brunch at epicarts.org.uk.

As well as cafe food they also sell Kampot pepper, cards made by disabled people, Epic arts t-shirts and more. We bought a book about Cambodian sign language.

Around Kampot

Kampot is known for its old french buildings, you can see some here. YOu might also notice that the streets are line with Cambodian flags to celebrate the king's birthday public holiday.

Fishing boats on their way out for the night.

Relaxing in Kampot

As I may have mentioned this hot season is extra hot and extra long. So we have been feeling tired and stressed etc. In an attempt to feel better we spent 2 nights in Kampot town.


I wouldn't recommend the guest house we stayed at, but we had a nice day on Friday. We went out for brunch, then later on linner. In between we sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the view. Living in Phnom Penh we don't see hills and trees much so it was nice.

Durian

I heard about Kampot being famous for producing pepper, but it wasn't until we visited I learnt it is also known for the big spiky fruit which stinks.

We drove some students to their houses in Kampot, dropped them off on the way to Kampot town. I heard the students ask Soeun if he would eat durian while he enjoyed a long weekend away in Kampot. They seemed to feel sorry for him when he said that he wouldn't be eating any as his wife doesn't like it. Poor Teacher Soeun!

On the way home from Kampot

On the way home we suddenly started hearing a funny noise. We pulled over and found out why. See photo.

Neither of us has ever changed a tyre, but Soeun managed to take off this one and put on the spare one in the boot. We went back to the nearest town and got a new tyre after that.

While we waited for them to work out the old one couldn't be fixed, and to put the new one on I amused myself by watching the traffic. It was really hot and dusty, but it was interesting to see a two men and a bike riding a bike, and to count how many people on each moto.
Or try to guess how many people in and on each van, and marvel at the amazingly big loads hanging off the back. See photo!

As it was the kings birthday Cambodian flags lined the streets as you might be able to see here. A common sight is that huge sign with the Prime Minister and two other important people, can you see it?
