Kampot, Cambodga

I left Sihanoukville, the ocean, beaches and all the beautiful islands to take of to Kampot. This wonderful town southeast of Cambodga. Reminds me a bit of Laos, with the river and a fantastic montain view.
I decided to give my motorbikeskills another shot, after my non sucessful try back in Laos where I ended up in the bush. Well, it turns out that I really should keep distance to that kind of motorized vehicles ..

Together with english Nathalie and Irish Meg we went on a motorbiketrip for the day. Tried to find a waterfall who was suppose to be amazing but apparently didn't exist. Got a great riverview though.
Me moved on to the central market, before we tried to find this big cave. We didn't find it. We did find the pepperplantage though which was kinda cool. Then we realized that the cave was to far, and tried to find another one on our way back. We didn't make it to that one either. Later on we went to the orphanage, and played some games with the kids. It was incredible, the smile on their faces is non descrieble. Made their day .. and ours.

I was really proud if my driving today, at first. I loved it. My bike was my new bff and we had so much fun together on the road. I even considered bring it with me back home (lol, I'm not going home). But all of sudden it turned in to my enemy. Stopped working and I had to kickstart it every time. Ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere without giving me any kind of notice. Then it started to live it's own life and decided to control our situation on the road and crash right into Megs bike and maked us both face the ground. ( I'm totaly blaming the bike, not the fact that I accelerated to fast) I was fine though, so was Meg, even if my helmet saved my life while I was falling head first over my scooter. My bike -on the other hand- was not fine and almost decided to give up on life. Some locals came to our rescue and saved it even if the damage where still there, which I had to pay way to many dollars extra for. This really should keep me away from scooters in the future. We'll se about that. I still had a very great but intense day. So when we finally got back to the hostel the beer was well deserved
