Sunday – time to move on
Was blessed to be able to sleep (uninterrupted by music) until my body naturally alerted me to rise at 4:48am. Jet lag is a struggle……
the clean up had begun and all the stage and wedding tents and tables literally evaporated overnight. All that was left was a mountain of trash. Anyway, no one seemed concerned about that the crew went inside walk about and enjoyed some sunshine and peace and quiet.
Landon showed us where some of sam’s family members live in the village. What an absolutely gorgeous day.
and oh yeah, pic of the potty. Didn’t get one with the door open but you can imagine what I was dealing with if you like. I guess there was a “shower” in there too if you can imagine calling a reservoir of water and a bucket a shower. I made the decision prior to coming to embrace the baby wipe and not mind NOT showering for a couple days (in reality it turned into almost 5 days) but who is counting 🤔. Don’t ask me the reality of that in 90 plus degree heat (spoiler alert- it involves a lot of baby wipes)
I was able to get some quick pics with Sam’s parents. They are just simply the nicest most humble sweet people. They didn’t understand a single word I said and vice versa. But I’m telling you it just didn’t matter. A SMILE transcends all language barriers!! Until next time ‘mom and dad’……
We got a car and driver to take us to Kampot. Which is my favourite place in Cambodia. I stayed at the Hotel Old Cinema which opened in September as a hotel that used to be the old cinema house. A lovely French couple owns and runs it.
It is in a great part of town. I’m close to river and close to the Rusty Keyhole (pepperoni pizza here I come). On a main road but not the crazy busy road. I’m going to love staying here! My little balcony for coffee in the morning ❤️
