Well of course you should visit Angkor Wat. I don't think I have to go about telling you that. So you will be happy to know that this post is not about Angkor Wat, but instead about a little beach town called Kep.
I would describe Kep as a quaint beach town. I am not sure what the population is but it can't be more than 40,000. There are a few foreigners that you will see scattered throughout the town and on the beach, but on the whole it is very quiet, and a scene much different than the other beach town Sihanoukville. Things quiet down around 8 and I mean quiet down; the city feels dead by that time. Perfect, if you are looking for a relaxing getaway.
I was down there this past weekend to remove myself from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Most of the day was spent around the pool soaking up the sun, however we did stop to eat lunch near the crab market. The prawns were amazing! Yes family,especially Mik, this does mean you will have to try some prawns. We then watched the sunset from the beach. I did not get a picture of it but you will have to take my word that it was beautiful.. Dinner was at the Veranda, a real treat. Great food and an amazing environment definitely a must do.
That basically caps off my trip to Kep. Not a lot to do, but when you are looking for some R & R this is the place to go.
