Ahh Kampot, how do I put you in a nutshell?<\/p>\n

Actually, come to think of it, I wish Kampot did<\/em> fit in a nutshell so that I could take it with me everywhere! Then if I ever feel overwhelmed or anxious, I could just whip it out and slip back into the placidity of this little town. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever be able to say the word \u201cKampot\u201d without getting wistful.<\/p>\n

Kampot is not a \u201cknock your socks off\u201d kind of a destination. It\u2019s more like someone kinda pulling your socks off without you even noticing (but not in a creepy way). The next thing you know you are laying back, totally sock free with someone giving you an awesome foot massage. Kampot totally crept over us and before we knew it over two weeks had passed, our Cambodian visa was expiring and we here hopelessly in love with this dusty little Cambodian town.<\/p>\n

Kampot is in Southern Cambodia and is easily reached via Phnom Penh, or Sihanoukville. It is a 30-45 minute motorbike ride away from the coast and is set along a lovely river. There is not that much \u201cto do\u201d in Kampot besides just enjoying the surprising amount of good restaurants in town and slipping into the slow, relaxing and pleasant little world that it is.<\/p>\n

Mea Culpa.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mea Culpa (translates to “through my own fault”) is an apt name for this hotel. They may be mostly to blame for how much we loved Kampot. Our room and attached bathroom was big with high ceilings and was nice, bright, and clean. There was a comfortable king sized bed, large wardrobe for clothes, a seating area with a table and chairs in our room and a private terrace with tables and chairs through some large metal French doors. All of this loveliness was cleaned daily and came with free coffee, tea and drinking water as well as a shared fridge. The a\/c was also great and very quiet. The restaurant at the hotel has a wood fired oven and they make nice pizzas, salads and bread. Wi-Fi was great and they arrange motorbike rentals so that the bikes are brought to you at the hotel. When we were there it was $25\/night and at the south side of town.<\/p>\n
