Sihanoukville, Kep and beer

So we me and Phillip left Phenom pen as filip was leaving for sweden again.. the buss was $5 and we got dropped of at the sihanoukville buss station. We got attacked by moto drivers and sucseeded in haggeling down the price from $2 to $0.75 (we later found out that the standard price was $1, but as...eee.. I? say: many small bricks builds a house (or an extra beer:)) for the ride down to the beach.









We meet up with our friends Jocke och Olle who where staying for free at a beach shack. Of X we joined in. The Acomodation was on the second floor of the shack and was consistent of a thin matress, a mosqito net, a pillow, a blancet and some shared fans.. Not bad for being free..




The cach?? Well if they don't like you they'll trow you out... (We gave them a marketing advantage since people tend to go to places where ther's already sitting people and we spent most of our days reading and drinking beer at the shack)..









The prices was virtually the same at every shack (pooling?) so we figured we might as well eat at our shack.. $2 for a breakfeast baguette with tuna salad and a mango shake started my day.. The afternoon was spent drinking $0.50 draught anckor beer.. sometimes as many as 5 (Wonderful). and then I ate (Now a classic since I ate it every night) BBQ tuna steak with french fries and sallad (and some more beer ofcourse)..









One day we rented a scooter to go to the Viet-nam consulate to get visas (witch we payed $40 for and later found out that people with swedish origin dont need visas for vietnam.. AAAArrrrrrgggg) but we drove around exploring the area.. The weird dragon in the picture is located at one of the seemingly many luxury resorts in sihanoukville and was located from the little moped scoter..














We kontinued to Kep since we felt the need to moove around a bit.. We caught a moto from the beach to the buss station and found a guy with a car that was going to Kampot (close to kep) and agreed to pay $4 (Each!! the guy saw two walking atm's and would not go lower). we got cramed in his car (7 people in a 5 seat car, a toyota camry if you wonder) and two hours later we got dropped of in kampot. from here we had to pay $4 each (again) to go with two motos all the way out to Kep. Kep is Super small (only 4200 inhabitants since Pol pot's regime Killed everyone in the 70:s) and was a semi disapointment. We spent two and a half hour looking for a hotel an ended up paying $7 a night for a shitty dubble room.. Atleast we're used to sharing bed now.. I've promised Philip I'm going to buy underweare and not sleep in a towel anymore..









we chilled in kep for two days. one day we spent walking around Kep national park (not much to see but we felt we had to move around and do something, walking 12km is more than something) and the other day Reading. I finished "when angels cry" by Whilbur smith (a recomondation)..









Soon we're going to cross the border to Viet-Nam..

Much love
