Sihanoukville is a port city in southern Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. The city was founded in 1964 to be the only deep water port in Cambodia (in part due to the waning power of the French leading to the Vietnamese tightening their control over the Mekong Delta and hence restricting river access to Cambodia) and its beaches have made it pop...

After a 2 hour bus we arrived in Sihanouk Ville about 6ish . Tun had booked us a guest house called Monkey Republic as he said it was Chinese new year and we might have trouble finding a room. It was actually one of the ones we had picked out that sounded nice. We arrived in a black out and couldn't reli see much of our room with a torch. Lonely...

Ok, I have caught up with the blog now we are back in civilisation, and it is actually today. Woke up this morning to a choppy sea and a sick Callum. Not good seeing as we have to get a boat of this rock. Our friendly travel agent had arranged the boat and a taxi from the jetty to Sihanoukville which took 2 hours. Callum did really well, only ba...

Sihanoukville - days 96-101 Sihanoukville is Cambodia's only real seaside resort and port. After 100 days of pretty much non stop activity I feel I've earned a bit of a break. There isn't much to write/ blog home about the place it's fairly scruffy and teetering on the edge of becoming seedy and spoilt. The day I arrive the town is full to burst...

I ve booked for a boat trip in the islands near by to do some snorkeling. We were maybe 15 in the boat but at the end I was the only one who was really doing some snorkeling all the other ones where in the boat relaxing. We arrived on one of the island and a storm came enable us to leave before some time. Was impressive the speed of the storm: a...

Finally arrived at the seaside! And what a place. First night we started looking for a bar with a telly for the Sunderland V Newcastle game and it seemed that we were gonna struggle for anything bigger than a portable. Impressed with the prices, some places offering draft beer for US$0.50! Eventually settled on a bar with a reasonable TV and sta...

Once again our faithful, but slightly mad friend Paris brought us to the next town to get our bus to Sihanoukville. He stops half way down the road to visit a 'happy tree'! I then realize that I forgot to pick up my passport from the guest house, at his stage Paris is practically crying!!! It turns out I had it in my bag....Paris tells us the bu...

Left Kopang Cham to head for our homestay the other day. Lee crossed off one of his things to do on the way and he got to eat tarantula. It was gross. This woman just had a whole bowl of them in front of her (already cooked thankfully). I had a bite of the leg which was enough for me. I couldn't get past the idea of eating a spider so I had to w...
