Into The Abyss (well 30m down)
First dive of the day was the Deep Dive to 30m, which has to be done as part of the Advanced Open Water qualification. This was the dive I was most nervous about as sometimes I've had problems equalising and this dive can't be done if you can't ...
Christmas at the beach, at last
Lovely weather for Christmas, though it's a bit hard to compute that it's really Christmas. The sunburned tourists wearing Santa Claus hats and the Christmas Eve drink specials are good reminders, ...
Sol och bad i Kambodja
Hej, Vi genomled resan på 40 timmar ifrån Koh Tao till Sihanoukville i ett tag, så vi har varit här i tre dagar nu. Det har varit strålande väder och vi ligger vid stranden hela dagarna. Det är vansinnigt billigt här, i alla fall när man räknar ...
Weaving - the fabric of Cambodia

A bus, the beach and Women's Rights (allegedly)

Sleepless in Sihanoukville
We'd booked onto the 8pm nightbus from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville, so had a chilled out last day in Siem Reap. Chris' foot has been a bit sore since our long day of walking around Don Khon (we're not sure what it is, perhaps a trapped nerve or something) ...

Visiting the killing fields.

Cambodia

10 days at the beach? Why Not
We left Phnom Penh for a few days at the beach at Sihanoukville, Cambodia's only port and it's best beach resort, about 3 hours from Phnom Penh. Unfortunately we found it hard to leave (a combination of nice accommodation, nice local restaurants, cool ...
To the beach...!
... passport to get a visa for Vietnmam - during the few days it took to sort it out I went to the beach at Sihanoukville, south Cambodia. 4hr journey to the coast - pleasant scenery, became hilly, the first hills I'd seen in the country. Got dropped off ...

Holiday in Cambodia...
After a 7 hour bus journey to Phnom Phen, followed by 4 hour taxi ride, we made it to Sihanoukville, on the south coast of Cambodia. Exactly what we needed. Beautiful beaches and plenty of hammocks to laze about on and it hot hot hot! ...
Roughing it in Snooky...
Having finally escaped the grey and grim Phnom Penh, we arrived in Sihanoukville (known as Snooky locally) after a five hour bus journey. As happens with pretty much every place that we've been to so far on our travels, when getting off the bus ...
Phnom Penh to Shianoukville

Cambodia Beaches
Time for some relaxation on Cambodian beaches. Staying at a brand new guesthouse not far from the beach. Beaches are rather nice. No waves of course, but great sea breeze each day. If only I packed my boat. Would be great to go and explore the ...
