Angkor Wat revisited

The adventure goes on:  A group of seven came to Siem Reap and fell into my arms. It's time to take care of them. Traditionally, we start with  Angkor Wat. It was a very  hot day.

A day in Phnom Penh

I am enjoying a  day on my own  in Phnom Penh shopping, but not for my needs, but only on orders of the others. I will have time to think about myself later on. The tireless Mr Vanna drives me around the city in search of a Hindu box - a stand and storage  for incense sandalwood sticks. Unfortunat...

Phnom Penh - Adke is flying away

And so ends the first part of our escapade to Cambodia. Adek is returning to the country. I will stay here for a while to let our friends get to know the country in the way that I can do my best. I know  and I’ve already seen quite a lot… Mr Vanna - our reliable tuk-tuk driver and guide to Phnom ...

The Bokor Mountain - not far from Kampot

Today's weather forcast is rather favourable and it allows us for a further trip without fear of getting really soaked wet. Our plan was to ride  our motorbike over 100 km up in the mountains! The biggest attraction of the Kampot area is the Bokor hill, a massif whose summit rises to over 1,100 m ...

Who cares that it's raining?

Apparently the oldest Cambodians do not remember such weather in January ... It’s been raining for three or four daays now (28 ° C) and prevents us from visiting the beautiful surroundings. Our moped is wet and still waiting for us. We enjoy relaxing  in hammocks and we keep wondering when we were...

Our day in Kep

We do nothing in Kep in a beautiful resort owned by Chris – a Californian, married to a Khmer lady, father of three beautiful kids. A little bored with hotel life (in our thatched  bungalows), and with breakfast from the menu, we decided (not for the first time, anyway) to go to the local market, w...

A short day in Kampot vicinities

Kampot lies on the large and picturesque Praek Tuek Chhu river. There are many waterfalls in the area supplying the river's waters  Our ambitious plans to view these waterfalls and reach the tops of several nearby hills on mopeds have been verified by the weather! A lost monsoon does not forget abo...

Kampot - not only pepper

The first impression after coming to this city is a huge number of tourists (mainly white) of a variety of economic status and a lot of greatly prospering cafes, bars, restaurants, etc. I wonder what attracts tourists here since the ocean is about 30 km away. It seems that the main attraction of K...
