In the morning got our stuff together and walked to the bus station to go to Kep. The bus was delayed so got a Khmer Sandwich and an ice coffee before boarding on the bus and wasting away 5 hours listening to some music and staring our the window till we arrived in Kep. Kep is a really nice place, super small and chilled out, has a beach and is famous for crab, reportedly the best in Cambodia. We found a really nice guesthouse, it was either a guesthouse or bungalows though they were further away and we’re just here for one evening, treated ourselves to a room each and headed out to the Crab Market. We had a seat right on the water front, watched the local fishermen unload their days catch and ordered crab. Half a minute later the bloke who took our order is wading out into the water and fetching the crabs. It came out and looked marvellous, and tasted even better. There was quite a bit of it, and we ate solidly and picked at it for a good 45 minutes, the crab was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. We walked back round the sea front and went into the national park to trek up to sunset rock, it was a pretty standard path though with the heat and my foot was a bit of a struggle, though the views when we got there were amazing, you can see Phu Quoc, the Vietnamese island, plus the gulf of Thailand. Unfortunately the sun was blocked out by a cloudy haze, turned out not an awful thing in the end as it was quite dark walking back, had a much needed shower and crashed out.
