I've made my way along the coast of Cambodia to Ha Tien, which is in Vietnam just after the border. Along the way I went to Kampot, which had a nice sunset over the river but not much else of note. Quite a dirty town, and loads of dogs - howling and barking all night. Next I went ot Kep, which is an old French resort, lots of crumbling villas overlooking the sea. I hooked up with someone I'd met in Kampot and we had a day on the Rabbit Island. To be honest there's not much to do in Kep apart from swim in the (murky) sea or swing in a hammock, but it was a cool way to pass three days. And a bit of a relief after some of the other places in Cambodia which were quite intense. We did eat some great crab in Kep, seafooded-out at the moment. Also I saw a vivid green preying mantis, just outside my hotel room (Kep Seaside Villa), which rocked.
I took a moto from Kep over the border to Ha Tien in Vietnam this morning. It took about an hour and cost $12. I was the only one crossing at that time (about 9.30AM) so I breezed through. Ha Tien is a quiet place, I'm taking the night bus to Ho Chi Minh city from here at 10PM, should get in about 5AM. Saves on paying for a room!
Til next time, I'm batman
