Sorry to make you all sick but when you were getting out of bed this morning to a cold and dark winters day, we were floating gently in warm, clear sea just off a sandy beach before a gentle hike through the jungle for a Barbecue fish lunch. Welcome to Costa del Cambodia, although infinitely more tasteful; no bling here...We had a 4 hour bus ride to get here, to Sihanoukville on the South Cambodian coast in the usual ínteresting' Cambodian way. We are staying in a thatched bungalow less than 100m from the beach, which is lined with beach bars all of which offer free sun loungers provided you are prepared to eat and drink there (and with a plate of barbecued seafood at $3 and beer at 50cents who are we to turn that down). There is the usual menace of hawkers and beggars so we took the opportunity this morning to take a tour to Ream National Park; this is a water park set among the mangroves and the islands off the Cambodian coast. As you will see from the opening comments it wasn't exactly stressful. We were lucky enough to see Dolphins and sea eagles, although neither got close enough for a photo. Totally rejunvenated, we are ready to head back to the chaos that is Phnom Penh tomorrow; an evening there to collect our Vietnam visas and we head to Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday by direct bus. Hopefully, not too much of a body search at the border!
