Bokor Hill, army training
If you look very good (sorry but the pictures are dark due to the weather circumstances), you can see the Cambodian Army rehearsing their climbing talents. Their drunken laughter somewhat disturbed the eerie atmosphere.

This was the way up. The first part was quite ok but then it began raining. And not just raining, it was a tropical storm.On the backseat of the moto, I got soaked and I could no longer enjoy the beautiful (but bumpy) ride through the lush rainforest.(Bokor Hill was once an Englsih hill resort but was deserted in the twenties. The remains are very spooky.The Hill Hotel, the Catholic Church and some other building went into decay and give an eerie impression.Moreover, when I was there, it had rained and was misty....You can visit it on a daytrip on the back of a motordriver. It cost me US 12$ in my guesthouse)

In Kampot, I only found one (1 !) cultural thing to spot and it was a not so pretty Wat.They were working at it so there wasn't much to see.In the courtyard the monks were playing football with a badminton plume (or how do you call it). I joined them but found out it was too difficult for me. Just try it.

They always need rice (big bags available right near the market. Just load up a tuk-tuk and drop in!) They need other things too - just ask.

Nice old, decaying French architecture.

On the way down from Bokor Hill, we stopped at the one teashop there was and there I saw fruit I didn't know..Now I know it's jackfruit

View from the top of the hotel....

The once luxurious hotel even had a terrace from you (no doubt) had a lovely view on the surroundings - when the weather was better.

Detail of the once luxurious English hotel. Now, it's a ruin
