Koh Thonsay aka Rabbit Island

Rabbit Island looks nothing like a rabbit. Not even an abstract artist could pull a rabbit out of this hat. The concensus seems to be that it was named by someone who’d imbibed too much palm wine, and I’m inclined to agree. The name aside, it is beautiful and exactly what I needed after the searing heat and humidity that is Cambodia.

It’s a 30-minute boat ride from the Kep pier  The boat drops you off about 9:30 and picks you up for the return voyage at 4, all for $8 including pick-up and return to the hotel.

I’ll let the pictures describe the day, but just want to add that as I was walking toward the mini bus that was taking me back to the hotel at the end of the day, I heard, “Hello Susan.” Looked over to see Miki, my tuk-tuk tour driver from two days ago in Kampot. Proof once again that having an affair on this planet would be ill-advised.

Ahhhhh.

The couple next to me were on a different budget. Arrived in a private boat with two guys in white uniforms who prepared their beach chairs, served them drinks, prepared and served them lunch, complete with linens and real cutlery.
