Beautiful small town of Krong Battambang

A 6 hour journey by Cambodia Post VIP bus service and we have arrived in Battambang!
After a hectic Phnom Penh, it only took a short while for us to feel a relaxed atmosphere in Battambang. We rested after arriving, and then went out for dinner. After sitting down at the restaurant, the power went out, which looked like the whole block was affected! We thought of leaving the restaurant, but the women who owned the place was very courteous and brought out candles. She insisted of us to stay. If she could whip up a meal during a blackout, we only imagined what she could do with the lights on! So, we came back a few more times and always enjoyed her home-cooked food.
The next day, map in hand, we did our usual day one walk. Battambang has cute, little coffee shops, walk-able streets, and quiet areas to relax by the river and watch the countless lizards scurry by. We checked out a local bakery and found a special banana muffin. A reason for us to come back to the bakery to eat an absurd amount of American style muffins. And a “lucky” supermarket for all our needs.En savoir plus
