Once we got our Visa for Vietnam arranged, we decided to leave Otres Beach (Cambodia) and started to head straight East. By recommendation we ventured on a beautiful unsealed path trying to bypass the city of Sihanoukville. Sadly, Laura’s bike decided against that and went on strike near the end of the track, requiring a tow into town. Luckily the road was easy and the repair a measly 3 Dollars, allowing us to carry on quickly.
Patch of bad luck?
At this point Rocinante (Laura’s Bike) seemed to live up to its name and added salt into the wounds of our current misery.Why misery? Since we entered Cambodia things hadn’t been ideal and were getting worse with time. Laura was unwell, the landscape wasn’t as picturesque was we had hoped, driving felt like a nightmare, the bike was playing up and the constant sight of rubbish combined with tourism related hassling left a bitter taste in our mouths.
Our next stop was a return into the quiet town of Kampot that turned out to be a tipping point in our journey. From this moment on things started to improve again.
Here we had a chance to relax properly for a few days and regain our energy. With Vietnam in sight, this gave us the opportunity to look forward to the next bits of travelling again. This included our last drive in the country through the beautiful seaside National Park in Kep.
