Sihanoukville

After a relatively easy (and cheap at $4) coach trip we arrived at Sihanoukville, Cambodia's main beach destination. We were, as usual, mobbed as we got off the bus, however one very polite westerner gave us a leaflet for some accommodation. It sounded like a good deal, close to the beach so we jumped on a tuk-tuk and headed there.

The place was run by a couple of guys from Cambridge, very friendly and bungalows were $6/night so we couldn't complain. They also had a free pool table, good food and a room for viewing a large collection of DVDs.

We spent the next couple of days either in the hotel, or at the beach. We had to be quite selective about when we went to the beach, either first thing in the morning or about 5 o'clock at night were acceptable, any time between that it was just too hot. The beach was amazing; fine white sand and clear blue waters.

We had a great time here, but haven't really got anything to say about it as all we did was eat, drink, swim and lounge around. It was a great couple of days though, that we thoroughly enjoyed.

We then headed back to Phnom Penh and then on to Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
