Sihanoukville

The three days we spent in Sihanoukville were definitely my favorite part of the vacation. It was good to just relax, enjoy nice weather and food in good company. I was especially excited because we had Kori along with us. It was great to have girl to hang with, not to mention someone to share Japan stories with. She is also teaching English in a small mountain town in Japan. Rob, Kori and I arrived early in the morning after an all night bus ride. We met Jon, checked in to a guesthouse on the beach and headed for a morning beverage. The Mekong buck I drank was enough to knock me out for the rest of the afternoon. That night we headed to a beach party consisting of dancing barefoot and playing with fire. Don't be surprised that I found a new trick to try and practice while on vacation and dancing with fire sticks was it.

The next day we took a small tour boat to a practically deserted island for snorkeling and lunch. It would have been enjoyable had we not drank and stayed up so late the previous night. I have never before, experienced sea sickness along with dirty travel stomach problems. The boats you see in the picture below are what we took. The water was rough and the boats rocked with the waves. It was awful. Arriving to the island we were rewarded with uncrowded beaches and delicious food.

The best beach activities: collecting sea shells and chillin' in hammocks!

There is the little hut we stayed in.
