On Friday we took a 3 hour trip in a taxi van from Phnom Penh to Kampot, arriving in the early the evening. I got straight into nesting mode and spent the next 4 hours setting up my bedroom. Veronica gave me some purple ball lights for my windows to set the theme. We lay low for a few days as we were all quite exhausted. On Monday we had a meeting for Time and Ocea’s preschool, Peppercorns and then went out to the seaside town of Kep to have a feast of pepper and tamarind crab and prawns and noodles. Admittedly it was delicious, despite my initial apprehension, as someone who isn’t a seasoned crab connoisseur. It took a while to come to terms with the constant sense of crab violation by corpse excavation, but by the end I had got the hang of snapping the tough barbed legs to suck out the meat without having to apologise to King Neptune.
