A quick ride through the south coast of Cambodia leaves me slightly in awe of this country and its history.<\/p>\n

It’s great for my supermarket-oriented eyes to see fresh veg, fish and fruit that you’ve just spotted growing in the countryside -or being caught at sea- displayed for sale. Pic below is market in Koh Kong.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pic below is typical of the poorer homes I saw in the countryside. Utterly basic structures with no piped services. Many families, like this one, seem to have next to nothing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sadly the sign above was the closest I came to seeing an elephant in the Cardamom Mountains.<\/p>\n

Below- one of the very many roadside shacks I refreshed at. The petrol station part comprises the plastic bottles of fuel at the front!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course my 3 days on Koh Rong Sanloen Island off Sihanoukville was a dream come true. Having some of the jungle fauna wander into my room was great too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pic below: typical Cambodian toilet. The yellow can acts as the flushing mechanism; the hose at left where we’d have toilet paper.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Amok fish curry was delicious (below). Coconutty sweet and mildly flavoured!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
