Travelling around Cambodia is never boring; – if you get tired of looking at the ubiquitous sugar palm, paddy-field, water-buffalo combinations then you can be sure that there’ll be some interesting/unusual/crazy sight right around the next bend. Just drove up from Kampot to Phnom Penh on the excellent and freshly upgraded, (give or take a couple of nearly finished bridges), road to Kampot – national highway number 3. Now only a 3-hour drive, even accounting for Phnom Penh traffic!
Highway #3 Could have stopped the taxi every 500 metres to photo something or another but didn’t so here’s just a few of the un-blurred pix snapped on the ‘sports setting’ as we bumped and weaved through the Takeo and Kandal countryside.
Road to Kampot 2 Itinerant pot vendor from Kompong Chhnang on the road to Kampot.
Public transport Bit of a dodgy spot for a nap on the public bus to Phnom Penh.
Public transport 2 And some more rather precarious seating arrangements on the public minibus.
Kandal factory workers Garment factory workers returning home in Kandal Province.
(We travelled along the road from Kampot on the All Points East, Beyond Angkor tour.)
Cheers!
