La Plantation, Kampot.🌿

The reason I chose Kampot as my next stop, was because I was very interested in visiting one of the most famous pepper plantations in the world – the Kampot Pepper plantation.🤩🌿
This time, instead of renting a bicycle😆, I rented a motorbike, as I also planned to explore the surrounding nature and the salt fields, which are located in a different direction. 🛵

When I arrived at the plantation, I booked a guided tour of the fields, which also included a pepper tasting at the end. To my surprise, Marc , (a guy from the French-speaking part of Switzerland) whom I had already met at the hostel in Phnom Penh, turned out to be in the same tour group. For about two hours, we learned all about the plantation, how they care for the plants, and finally, we got to taste several different types of pepper.😍
In the shop, I honestly wanted to buy everything: all kinds of pepper, colorful curry blends, teas, snacks like cashew nuts or dried fruits.🤩 everything we tried was so delicious! But unfortunately, my backpack space is limited, better for my wallet.🤭💰
Marc and I spended the rest of the day together. Riding scooters through the salt fields, enjoying the beautiful landscape around Kampot, walking trough the streets in the village or just resting in a cozy café. ☕️🍜Read more
