Re: Potatoes at Last

Have breakfast in Phnom Penh, drive to Kep via Kampot, or skip it entirely by using roads 31, 33, 33A which are now in great condition last I heard. You're welcome!

Re: Recommendations for Kampot

I obviously need to try 1960 (even if they do need to correct their blurb: During the 1960’s under the Khmer Rouge, the music scene was thriving), and Armando's. I've been to Twenty Three.

Re: How to avoid visiting girlfiend's parents in the boonies

Of course it can get worse, Doc! That orange cooler box that Kammekor mentioned might look nice on the outside, but the inside hasn't been cleaned since they acquired it.
