Kep Friday - lazy day

Slept well even during the torrential downpour that hit around midnight.
Woke well, breakfasted well - the pho is back on the menu - third time lucky and worth the wait. No photo.

No way were we using that moto again so we just walked onto the main road and toyed with hiring another bike when a tuk-tuk arrived - $3 one way to the crab market? Done and thankyou. I am beyond haggling right now.

We proceed gently along the boulevarde around the point through the square and onto the collection of shacks.  Fresh seafood on sale, locals doing the haggling, we buy some freshly barbecued squid and its pretty good. Buy some pepper. Wander some more, pick a restaurant - they are all basically the same, some have more air than others on another hot day.

BBQ squid and it was good

no size limit

you want prawn Bong?

we were just sitting there being crabs and then these strange lights in the sky

fresh is best

Beers and cards and beers and cards and I am winning everything and then some reading and then 2pm and why not some fresh prawns in pepper sauce which were pretty good. Spring rolls weren't the best

Walk down to the massage place and we go for round two and the pain level is increased by a couple of notches by a more senior and stronger masseuse but she sorted out my ITB and lower back, I catch her sharing my grimaces with her colleague. Couldn't quite get my T and L vert to crack which is fine but it was lovely again because she made me wear dark green tartan flannel pyjamas - no photo.

Tuk tuk back very slowly to the hotel by 4pm. Verandah - gin, afternoon, nice.

 

got hammock?
