sunny 35 °C

Apres notre petite excursion dans la jungle, on l'a joue un peu plus cool et avons pris un guide pour nous faire decouvrir les environs de Kampot et ses plantations de poivre.

After our little excursion in the jungle, we played it cool and took a guide to discover the surroundings of Kampot and its pepper plantations.

Phnom Sasear, la cave de l'elephant blanc.
Tres long tunnel (la distance: de gauche a droite de la premiere photo), seul Gearoid l'a visite (un peu claustro le truc), un rocher geant coince au plafond de la cave, et des enfants/ados nous pretant beaucoup d'attention

Phnom Sasear, the white elephant cave.
Very long tunnel (distance: from left to right of the first picture), only Gearoid went in (this thing makes you feel a bit claustrophobic), a giant rock stuck on the top of the cave, and children/teenagers giving us a lot of attention.

Les plantations de poivre, celebres dans tout le pays. Attention d'ailleurs si vous commandez un plat et qu'il y a ecrit "pepper": en general, c'est pas du poivron! Et quand ils poivrent ici, ca rigole pas (effet "bouche en feu" garanti)!!

The pepper plantations, famous in the whole country. Be careful by the way if you're ordering a dish and there's written "pepper": in general, it's not the vegetable! And when they put pepper here, they're not kidding (the effect "mouth on fire" is guaranteed)!!
