What to do with a three day weekend but get out of town, right?! Along with my friend and colleague L, her husband, their nanny and their child, I headed south to Kampot on Saturday. We had decided that above all else, this would be a gastro tour, so Lisa and I made reservations for every lunch and dinner of the trip. Below is a photo tour of the weekend!
Day 1: Kampot
 |
| Roadside coconuts! |
 |
| Kampot: new and old, side by side. |

| The famous (?) Durian roundabout in town. |
 |
| Amusement park, Kampot style! |
 |
| Food stall, lots of colors. |
 |
Old haunts: in 2010, I stayed at this
guesthouse. It looked a lot different then. |
 |
| Dinner at Tertulia: beetroot carpaccio, divine! |
 |
Tertulia: seafood skewer, with delicious squid,
flaky white fish, and shrimp, along with a lovely
dipping sauce of ginger, garlic, and lemongrass. |
Hotel pool area.
 |
Old Cinema Hotel - my room was comfortable, with a
balcony lots of windows. The bed was hard, the AC cold. |
