In Kampot, where we moved into a beautiful room in Kampot Guest House ($ 10), we have booked the same for the next day on a jungle tour. At eight clock went off with a small bus in the Natinalpark, then brought us a pickup a piece of the Bokor Mountain (1080m) up. Then he said: "All off!" and it was walking 2 hours through the jungle further up the mountain.
was given as the group was armed with a machine gun Ranger. In the national park still live tigers, leopards and Elephants, but for this part, they have withdrawn because of the strong activity (it is built a paved asphalt road up). Andi has photographed a snake that moved the Rangers into mild excitement, for he thought it was very dangerous and toxic, a bite lead to the certain death in a short time, he no longer could have helped. The second tour guide was not so sure he thought it could have been a little Python. After the strenuous and sweaty increase, which was sometimes so steep and slippery that it only helped to hold on to creepers and vines to get ahead. Then we took the pick to the plateau, where earlier a French village with chalets, Hotel, Casino and church, was still visible, however, only abandoned, dilapidated concrete ruins. Which had good views from here over the country, unfortunately marred by the fog. The whole thing back again, the Return through the jungle, we can take pictures of a sort of iguana, the monkey was unfortunately too quickly away. Finally, we were still bundled into a boat, by 1 1 / 2 hours on the river to enjoy the sunset, which was a very nice and relax after this trip. Of course we have our fluid and electrolyte storage in the evening must return with Lemon Juice, beer, and make up. On Wednesday, we have once again borrowed for 4 $ second motor bikes, the landlord has given us a plan drawn by hand with all the interesting destinations in the area. The bikes seemed to be in excellent condition and we looked forward to the ride. It has given us this time as helmets, the hemisphere-Reindl helmets. Even Andi did fit the helmet and you can imagine how beneficial he clothed him. At the very beginning we made
stop at a hairdresser and Andi sat bravely, but with a slightly anxious feeling, on the chair. Since he could not communicate with him, he did not know how he would prepare him, but he has made the job well. Converted to the enormous amount of fun has cost 60 cents! We visited salt fields that were empty and unfortunately Therefore, nothing was visible. Next we went on roads, caves, where you pave way past deep puddles had an appropriate way. There we were immediately surrounded by some boys who wanted to be our guide. We negotiated the price beforehand, then accompanied us five boys. They showed us the first big cave, pointed us towards particular formations are illuminated with a flashlight when it was dark, and made us aware of any possible danger in order not to strike his head. They led us further into a place where hung from the ceiling above a huge boulder from which they thought that one day will fall, but certainly not just today. Then we squeezed our way through a narrow slip through and landed in a second large hall filled with stalactites, stalagmites and corals. Because they were so nice at all, we gave them more than we had agreed.
dashed with our scooters we continue until we came to a lake, we took advantage of the same for a swim. Then we had the idea to circle the lake, which turned out to be not very easy. The initial broad road was getting narrower, until we finally only on narrow footpaths, deeply eroded ravines, through creeks and deep mud pools, over field boundaries and finally by the humble dwellings landed where an advancement for us was no longer possible. A young man we asked for directions to the street took pity, on us, rose from Andi again moped and took us directly over the undeveloped fields into some courtyards hintaus, out by between chickens, pigs, cows and people and to the front again until we are back after some time the road to the lake again found . Without our guide as we would have never found again.
After we happy to finally get back into so-called road under our wheels have weiterflitzten, Susie suddenly had a flat tire. Again we had a blessing in disguise because it was not happening in the desert before traffic, but just 50 meters before repairs. Do you have a problem in this country, finds itself in a short time, a helpful person, the matter in hand increases. So also this time. Hardly the mishap happened, the mechanic was already on the scene and showed the way to his workshop Susi. Remove the rear wheel, hose out, because the hole was directly in the valve, it is not possible to pick him, so another is sent away to get a new tube, purely to give the new hose, install the rear wheel, inflate, done. The whole thing was done in about 15 minutes and we paid € 4.5 unbelievable.
back on the road we visited a pepper plantation, we drove to the sea, where Susie took another refreshing dip, although swimming is always very difficult in full gear. Short rest on a couch, the straw roof pleasant shade.
After 100 heruntergespulten miles we are back in Kampot, make our restaurant the Natural bungalows on the river (highly recommended bungalows!) In a lemon drink gemuetlichden on a Lounge chair, eat something nice and come tired and drawn from all that sun in our neighborhood back.
Today Thursday, we have searched in the map drawn Handicraftsmarket, despite repeated requests not found. The plan still would be a tour with the Bambootrain been, where you can drive along in the small Wagerln not been since the French occupation took advantage of rails. Unfortunately, the rail will be renewed in time and that's why this project unfortunately fell into the water.
morning we go to our final destination to Sihanoukville to the sea, where we plan to swim, go and enjoy the last days, before returning home.
