July 14/15
Not sure if I have mentioned this yet but we are having really quite terrible weather this year. In nine years of coming to SE Asia in their “wet/green” season we have never really been impacted negatively by weather. Maybe there’s a rain deluge late afternoon or at supper time. But nothing that causes us to dramatically alter/impact our plans. But this year! Yikes 😳It rained more than we eoulc have liked while in Chiangmai. We had one day with sunny afternoon where We had a nice walk in the village but otherwise spent a lot of time dodging rain drops. But that weather is looking preferable to the non stop deluge of rain since we got to Kampot. Especially from the moment we rented motorbikes. Then it became unbearable. Far and away the first weather to date.
But it does slow for guilt free massages, many cups of coffee and long afternoons in the used book store. I suppose that is what vacation can also be about. I do prefer sunshine and the open road on a motorbike……
Rusty Keyhole 2’s pizza oven was out of order for the first two nights but was back in commission for last night! Yay!!!! The pepperoni and your cheese pizzas fit the bill perfectly. We had a burger the first night then ate at the original Rusty Keyhole on second night. Landon had the famous ribs, troy had pasta and I had chicken burger! All solid choices. Then Troy and Landon were here in April they discovered a new place called the Fish Market. They have the best happy hour prices and they are out over the river where else can I get a killer mango daiquiri for $1.75?? Even if I had to pay regular price of $3.50 still a bargain!!!! So we’ve been there two nights in a row (or has it been three?) losing track……
Domestic chores have still been part of my focus I did have to drop off laundry yesterday. $1/kilo. It was $1.50/kilo through hotel. Pretty sure they take it to the place I did and just pocket the .50/kilo? 😂😂as always, I love a good deal……
