The salt farm was cool.  They lure the salt water into an open field with promises of free range and gravity, but then they separate it from its ocean friends! Trapped and alone the water escapes through evaporation, leaving only the salt.  This only works during the dry season because during wet season the water stays with the salt and gets help from its friends in the clouds.  The pepper farm was just a regular farm, but man oh man was it some good pepper.  I had the regions famous Kampot pepper crab: SO GOOD.  

Then we went to a Buddhist temple inside a mountain that was built around 800 AD.  There were also some cool rock features that looked like elephants.  We went spelunking and saw bats (from a reasonable distance) as we crawled through the tunnel.  There was an ancient Buddhist shrine and a cool ghetto bridge over some water at the exit.  There were also monkeys taking free bananas from a local tour group.

Lastly we went to rabbit island. It was about ten to twenty minutes by boat and reminded me a lot of Hawaii's greenery.  There were huts like on old Hawaii getaway postcards and lots of people in the greenish brown water.  I decided I wanted to go to the top of the mountain.  I went for about an hour around the island on a trail looking for other trails going upward.  I found one, went up it, but it disappeared on me.  I went back to the main trail and tried again.  This happened a few times before I decided that one of the very plentiful violin spiders was going to eventually bite me (I also had a frog jump on my face, forgotten to bring water, seen a snake hole, and been reminded of  almost dying by falling off a steep slope in Hawaii :-) I got out of the forest and decided I was very dehydrated, so I asked a local (I'm not sure how rudely, but as politely as possible in my broken Khmer) if I could have some water.  He took me top his house and gave me some warm tea; we talked for a few minutes add best we could. He made crab traps for a living, and raised chickens and dogs- hopefully for different purposes.  I thanked him and went on my way.  I walked the rest of the island and made it back in time for some more crab and conversation with an Irish tourist and an American family on vacation.  Overall very fun.
