"Out there where the pepper grows!"

If you aren't familiar with the saying: "out there where the pepper grows" I can tell you that this is a Danish saying which means something like; very far out, and that is exately where we are now; both very far out and out there where the pepper grows.
We left Phnom Penh this morning -24th- and drowe with Mr. Ra -a taxi driver- from PP and all the way down the not very good Highway N 3, to the little town of Kampot. This is where they grow the best pepper in Asia -maybe even in the whole world, but I guess other countries would say BUH to me if I released something like that.
Any way the drive was about 3 hours through rual Cambodian landscapes with villages here and there. If somebody have seen Vietman War movies and the landscape there; yes it was like that, but thank god without the exploding napalm bombs behind the Palmtrees and small huts on stilts. Now we just had our Christmas evening dinner at a very cozy and friendly place called; "the rusty keyhole". It is a mixed UK and Cambodian run bar at the riverfront in town.
The day has been extreme hot, and it look to be the same tomorrow, so this is not a white Christmas.
After Phnom Penh, this is like coming to another country, as here is just so quite and slow that one could get out of a moving tuk-tuk, in the thought that is was still parked along the pavement.
Similar to Phnom Penh; the people here are amazingly kind and friendly and not as busy or trying to get us to ride with their tuk-tuk and what else we experienced in the capitol.
More will follow later, now I just want to wish everybody a nice and fantastic Christmas evening and Christmas day.
