We have had a couple enjoyable days in Kampot. Our hotel reservation went wrong and when we arrived on the slow bus (read: should have taken a taxi) from Phnom Penh had to settle for a musty double for Trudy and Jasmine. We "men" got a triple with suspitious looking turds on the bed covers and thin walls, actually opon cracks to the next room. The guest staying there was kind enough later to light up one of Cambodia's finest, "Dad, what's that smell?" Sure enough in the wee hours of the morning was the familiar sound of scurrying rats, memories of Guatemala and time for ear plugs. On our first day after finding a new hotel we went to the local swimming hole to cool off, nice refreshing fun in the water by the jungle. Yesterday we took a trip by jacked up Toyota Camry to the old French hill station on Bokor mountain to check out the abandoned buildings and take in the cool views. The road hasnt seen any maintenance in 40 years so it was quite a ride up.
