Lucky Guesthouse Sihanoukville

... had to paddle to it. whilst Jen went for a nap. It was lovely but a lot of us left because we just got swamped with locals trying to sell us stiff- i lasted till the end but it made it really annoying, they would just start rubbing sand on you and massaging you!!- Cat- our tour leader is notifying the police about it. We then went back and got ready for our meal- I had a seafood bbq of Squid, king prawns and Barracuda ( my ...

... by taking advantage of the cheap beer and pretty good nightlife. For the next 4 days. Well it was only 33p a pint! <br><br>Despite the weather, It wasn't all doom and gloom. I took a visit to a nearby national park and had a pretty cool boat ride through the Mangrove Swamps. The Ranger was a guy called Ganga or something like that and after chatting for a while, I learnt that he had set up 2 schools in the region off his own back, without government or outside ...

Had breakfast and then headed off to the National Park. Our ...

... walking away, shocker, the price drops and we finally catch one for 2USD between us. After seeing two guesthouses we settle for GST that has rooms in bunglowish buildings for 5USD, same price as in Phnom Penh but with a lot more room! After this we're nackered and have some food at the guesthouse (which was not great to be honest..first time in South East Asia!) and have a quiet night.<br>The day after we decide to have a beach day and we park ...

... I read Pin Yathay's &#8220;Stay Alive, My Son&#8221; and Chanrithy Him's &#8220;When broken glass floats&#8221;. Paul read &#8220;Voices from S-21&#8221; and &#8220;Pol Pot's little red book&#8221;. <br><br>Most importantly we unpacked our whole back-packs and fell into a routine, in between learning the horrors of the Khmer Rouge era and before we embark on the temples of Angkor &#8211; we were on Cloud 9.

we decided that as awesome as the jungle camp sounded as an experience, what we really were craving was a super chilled out beach experience, so we opted for lazy beach bungalows. the most eventful part of the boat ride was when they floated our luggage out to the boat (that was moored just offshore) in a big cooler, and we swam out after it to climb on board. the next 2 hours were smooth sailing (thankfully - no seasickness!), so smooth ...

... the room and "Suited Up" - bathing suit that is! We went back to the beach and started walking to Otres Beach. The beaches are lined with many bar/restaurants that have wooden lounge chairs and cushions along the edge of the beach. Many young tourists are occupying the lounges at Serendipity. The beach is also crowded with women carrying fruit and seafood on their heads to sell to the tourists, children are selling bracelets and hair braiding, other women are selling ...

... headed along the beach to find our bar. A bar called 'Sessions' was where we ended up, run by two guys from Halifax it was a great bar playing good music and providing excellent entertainment in the form of fire jugglers. As the night went on, fuelled by 17p pints of beer Sean and I decided that the nation of Cambodia had earnt the right to see our new generation dance moves, usually saved for the exclusive Oceana. By the end of the night we had both ...

... a quieter "better" beach a short ride away. Shayla got the worse sunburn I have ever seen in my life. Thankfully, I used lots of sunscreened and only tanned. So I have to apologize in advance for the fact that this blog is going to be full of descriptions of being lazy on the beach for the next month...because that's what I plan on doing! I'll try to spice it up with lots of people stories though. :) The next day I FINALLY WENT SCUBA DIVING! I didn't really intend ...
