Don Brosco Hotel School Sihanouk Ville Sihanoukville

Unser Aufenthalt in Shihanuokville waehrte lediglich rund 12 h. Starker Regen lies kein Baden zu und die starken Unwetter vor einigen Tagen haben ausserdem dazu gefuehrt dass der Sandstrand ins Meer gespuelt wurde. Also verliessen wir Kambodscha frueher als geplant und kehrten nach Bangkok zurueck.<br>

... a new visa, was a relatively straight forward process. Back on the bus it was immediately apparent that Cambodia would be alot different to other countries I have visited. Poverty is clearly everywhere (except for the casino's just inside the border for the benefit of the Vietnamese!). Even on the ferry crossing the mighty Mekong River, kids would be offering their hand out for money.<br><br>The population here is largely rural still and nearly everything is ...

... Rich and the James's to have some food and then go to a beach party. We had some drinks on the way and got to the party about 10pm, there were a lot of locals there and working women but there was a bonfire and some amazing fire jugglers. The bar had happy hour between 11-12pm where all beers were ...

... our holiday &#8211; Monday 15th June was day 90<br>of our trip and we thought we'd earned a rest. We settled into a pattern of waking when the sun woke us, cold showers, late breakfasts, taking walks along the beach. We read the Phnom Penh post and did the crossword, played endless games of scrabble.<br><br>We planned the rest of our trip in Cambodia, planned a little of what we'll do when we get back to ...

... the area. We followed that by going to S-21, a highschool that was converted into a torture prison where alleged 'cia' operatives were made to confess things they did not do. A great deal of these 'cia agents' were children of no more than 12. Leftover from the Pol Pot era in each classroom of S-21 were metal beds with devices such as icepicks and hacksaws.. some photographs on the walls of people mid-torture... you can imagine how difficult ...

... and there is a toilet on the bus. Impressive! We were able to watch the Titanic. It was dubbed in Khmer, but had English subtitles. We were close enough, so we could read them. It was a good way to kill most of the trip. Sihanoukville is around 200 km from Phnom Pehn and the trip was almost 4 hours. Again, we were told that it would take 4 hours and it did. That is very impressive! After Titanic they showed Khmer karaoke. We arrived in Sihanoukville around noon and found ...

8th - 13th After our slightly disappointing stay in Phnom Phen we were more than happy to be heading off to Sihanoukville, a lovely, quite, beach-side town - a vast contrast to the hustle and bustle of Phnom Phen. We caught the coach at 9.45 on Wednesday 8th, the journey passed relatively quickly and we arrived in Sihanoukville at about 2.00pm. Even though we hadn't pre-booked any place to stay we found a place straight away. We stayed in Cloud 9, a ...

... Well, the rooms were little more than a mattress on the floor, mosquito net, and fan, and were divided by very very very thin walls...which I would just hardly call walls at all. Defenitely heard a lot of things that I didn't need to hear. Also, I saw a rat. and at night the music was so loud it felt like I was sleeping in the bar. BUT when you wake up in the morning, you just crawled down to the bar to order breakfast, and then curled up in a comfy chair on the ...

... br>Thankfully another hut and a lad of 16 this time fixed two punctures which made it puncture number 4.......20 minutes through town and yes another flat, NUMBER 5! This one we were thankful off as just as we stopped the bike, two motorbikes crashed in front of us!!! I don't think accidents and us go hand in hand somehow....... again both looked pretty bad but STILL got back on ...
