Kampot- Bodhi Villa

Next day I was off to Kampot in Southern Cambodia. Time to 'chill out' and my Canadian friends (even though they are from Edmonton) Cara and Dave told me the best place to go was Bodhi Villa.
It's a great spot along the river where at night you can swim with the Phosphorescence and during the day just relax, enjoy the scenery and peacefulness. I must say too the bartender, Tan, had to be one of the coolest Cambodians I've ever met. He had an Aussie accent and could dance like a rapper!
Nice stopover place before taking a 'taxi' to Sihanoukville. In this taxi they could actually fit up to 8 people including the driver but if you pay for an extra seat you don't have to sit squished into this little 1980s Toyota Camry with broken door handles and no shocks. Yet another very interesting mode of transportation, thank god it only lasted 2 hours!
