Kampot and Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Kampot - After leaving Phnom Phen we made our way to the small town of Kampot.  Having done Ankor Wat last time we were in Cambodia we decided to see more of the small laid back towns Cambodia had to offer.  Kampot was a small sleepy town with a cute little river running through it's center.  We mostly just chilled and walked around exploring the city.  Then Stacy decided to have another go at getting a hair cut in SE Asia.  Not wanting to be left out, I joined as well and had a vast amount of my already short hair chopped off!  We then each had our hair washed while still sitting in the chair in front of the mirror.  This may sound strange, but was actually a lot more comfortable than reclining in a sink.  All for only $1.75 each!  We only spent two nights here which was plenty for a little catch up time.


Sihanoukville - Our last stop in Cambodia was on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand in Sihanoukville.  After taking a very packed van from Kampot, with our bags tied to a board sticking out from the back of the van, we made it to the beach.  We immediately ran into our friends Kate and Bri who we had hoped to meet up with - awesome timing.  We were joined by Kate and Bri and we're all there to have a little beach time and celebrate Kate's B-day.  After doing a little running around and actually checking into one guesthouse and then changing our minds for one with a pool, we got settled and began walking around town.  Though the beaches did not compare to Thailand, it was still a cute little town with many chill restaurants and bars.  We pretty much just relaxed by the pool and enjoyed the sunshine.  After three nights there, Stacy and I made our way back to Thailand with an easy boarder crossing and returned to our beloved home for the past year.
