Relaxing (with the honeymooners!)
Monday in Kampot involved a lot of relaxing. I was up early of course but chilled in my room until 7:30am when breakfast opened (AKA drank Nescafé instant coffee on my balcony). Breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had plans to have a massage around 10:30 (which definitely occurred) $8 for a one hour back, head, neck and shoulders massage at Mala (right next door to Captain Chim). Then I spent the next while going for a long walk. I wanted to find the quiet little pie shop on a side street that was owned by a Canadian we went to here a few years ago. I found the shop but unfortunately it is being remodeled into a music store right now. So no pie or poutine or Nanaimo bars to be had there. I then went south along the river until the promenade ended.
I was out for quite a while so felt justified in getting myself a piece of pie at the shop in town which is just on the Riverside Street, so much much busier. It’s owned by the same people as the other one so so very good quality pie. I had apple pie and a coconut shake. Guilt free.
Then I headed back to my hotel to spend a little time enjoying the pool. It’s pretty hot here (we’re sitting mid 90s and full sun every day) so definitely seems appropriate To be in the pool.
Happy hour margaritas at RikiTavi (2 for 1). Great idea Sam. These two delicious creations were $4 total! And they hit me like a Mac truck. But totally worth it 😉 the whole Riverside area is so beautiful in the evening with a spectacular view of the sunset. There are so many boats waiting to Take people on a sunset/firefly watching cruise. I think I’ll do that tomorrow!
The plan was to go to the Rusty keyhole for pizza and cheese fries. It’s TRADITION! The fries are really nothing special, it’s just habit now 😅
I forgot to snag pizza pic but about 1/2 way through the fries I woke up 🤣. Absolutely delicious. As always. Back to hotel and in bed by 9pm. It was a perfect day 😁
