Kampot has been the toughest place to leave yet, seriously. Yesterday as we were about to get into our taxi to Phnom Penh, we were invited to join Cambodia's biggest music superstar, Preap Sovath, and his entourage on a boat trip. Let me explain...
We spent time both in town and out in the country along the river this past week. Swimming, spa time, enjoying delicious food and great company. One of our favorite activities was paddleboarding. We have gone out with our guide/friend Annie in a few different spots along the river. Paddling both up and down the river and through the mangroves is super relaxing. Annie is campaigning to Kampot and the government to clean up the river and keep it clean. Her landlord and Preap are interested in helping her. So when we went out for a free paddle yesterday morning because Annie is so generous, they were discussing a boat trip. Sponsored by Angkor beer, he had just finished a music tour and was still celebrating. Unfortunately we couldn't let down our taxi driver who had just arrived so we couldn't take him up on his invitation. God Kampot, give us a break!
Kampot has definitely been one of our favorite spots so far. It's beautiful and super chill. And with a new dock and ferry in the future with a direct route to Phu Quoc, hmm...
Thanks to everyone who made us feel welcome and helped us discover all the good bits. Keep it real Kampot!
