Sianoukville
Southern Cambodia Jan 9th 2007Well you had better get to this place fast as I don't think it will be like this for Long. The Beaches are calm, warm and the white sand really squeaks on your feet. While sitting on a banana lounge, the beach sellers offer you lobstar, mangoes, pineapple, fish and a whole assortment of stuff. There are bars all along the beach and happy hours seem to go for 5 or 6 hours. Bers are al US$1 which makes it easy and to rent a motor bike is $5 per day.
Today I went on a snorkling trip and for the $10 price tag it included, a pick up from your guest house, breakfast, a boat trip, to two snorkle sites, Water, Coke, Lunch consisting of BBQ fish with salad and fruit salad for desert as well as a trip to a place called Bamboo Island. Th funny thing about it was that I walked around the island and didn't see any Bamboo.
Just getting back to the Motorbikes for a minute, this is the land that the police will pick you up for having your headlight on during the day, but won't do anything about it if you don't have it on at night. Go figure!!!
Today the weather was quite hot and the sky is clear so a bunch of us are going down to the beach for yet another happy hour to watch the sunset.
Last night I saw a bushfire here and the whole town came out to watch. The one and only fire truck cam to the rescue but quickly realised that they didn''t have any water in their truck. They had to go back to wherever to fill up. It was almost comical and it looed as if houses and other building were out of harms way.
There also looks as if there is a bit of development going on here so with the prices as low as they are and accomodation in the $5-$10 range, I don't think they can keep it a secret for too long
