Happy Elephant, Koh Rong, Day 2

It's boat tour day! It mercifully doesn't start until midday, so we have a chilled out morning. Thank God as the tour is a long one!
We start out on the boat with a free beer each, before taking in two snorkelling spots around the islands that surround Koh Rong. While the fish and coral may not be as impressive as Nha Trang, at least there is no jellyfish. It is still good to see all the fish, but the sea urchins look pretty terrifying on the rocks.
After around 90 minutes we head to Koh Rong Samloem. It is Koh Rong's small neighbour, and after eating a nice dinner, we head off for a small explore of the sleepy island. It's very chilled out and untouched, with only a few roads lined with hostels on the beach. After a small walk we head to the Dragonfly Bar to look at the amazing view.
We then get back on that boat and have more free beer and whisky, before landing on a secluded beach that only has one bar! A game of volleyball that is sometimes very competitive but always very fun takes place, and I join in to my teams disadvantage as Amy reads her book near the water.
The next stop is another beach where we have a bonfire and get a free cocktail, before we get on the boat again for some swimming with plankton.
It is an experience you have to see to believe, as hundreds of plankton light up around you in the pitch black water. The darkness of the water makes it rather scary, as me and Amy sometimes shout for each other as we drift apart, but it all adds to what is a truly remarkable sight. It's like wading through stars in the sky that disperse as you push your hands through them. A great end to a great tour.
We head back with more free beer to the pier where we begun, and grab some dinner before getting some much needed relaxation. Reuben and Olga from several hotels we have been at arrive today and we plan to get boozy in a new hotel with them tomorrow, so for now, it's time for bed!Read more
