Leg 14: not part of the bribal party

My sore bottom ensured that the idea of riding the 25 kilometres back to Kampot was less than thrilling. However, a bribe needed to be finalised in Kampot and so we pushed on, albeit at a slower pace than the previous day.

Leg 14: Kep-Kampot (in purple).

We crawled into Kampot after a much slower ride than the initial journey. I took more care to admire the scenery and, as I was previously informed, it was indeed lovely. I am, however, unsure as to whether the scenery from a bus window would have been any different from a bike seat.

Arrival in Kampot came with some bad news - our Bokor Hill Station trip had fallen through. This was our first and last bribe in Cambodia, and it had failed to deliver results. Aside from never seeing Bokor Hill Station, we will now never know the pleasures of greasing the wheels of corruption. In hindsight, perhaps the lost bribe was a good outcome after all.
