Kep

Kep is just down the coast from Sihanoukville. It has a lovely crescent shaped beach. 


At one point there were many orange-robes monks making their way to this lady. It looked so magical and I wish there had been room in my bathing suit for a camera. 


Our hotel had a wide covered balcony. It was perfect to sit there and watch the nightly deluge of rain while playing cards. According to an American 'local' it shouldn't still be raining at this time since it's heading into the dry season. 


There was also the most ENORMOUS gecko in roof vents in our room. Don't worry he couldn't get all the way in. And he wasn't stuck. He was just huge. 


We walked down to the crab market where many many restaurants are jutting out over the sea. And people are selling live seafood and the famous Kampot pepper


While playing cards and waiting for lunch we watched the women wade out to their crab traps to check on their livelihood. 


For less than $7 I got 2 huge crabs cooked to perfection in a Kampot pepper sauce. Bliss. 


Not at all ladylike but absolutely delicious!
