So, then it was the 1st of February and the big day leading to this trip was here: Mau's 40th birthday. We covered the 400 odd km from Phnom Phen south to Sihanoukville by bus the day before (for only $8, smile) and is it a great little place.
Breakfast is served
All I can say is that Sihanoukville is as close to an idyllic tropical beach as one can get. Relatively undiscovered by travelers, definitely undiscovered by corporate businesses like those with the Red Chickens and Golden Arches and chain hotel groups. Long may it remain so. It is just a small Cambodian beach on the Gulf of Thailand, fringed by forests, coconut palms, thatched roof bungalows and a blue, azure sea with kind and gentle waves. We found a bungalow on the beach for a mere $20 with a view to die for ... falling asleep at the sound of the small waves gently lapping the white beach at night is magic indeed.
Not going to describe every photo, just post a few as I am running out of time on my computer's battery, so have a look and get an idea.
