Bong's Guesthouse, Koh Rong, Day 1

So it's time to leave the smelly, damp room that we have grown to dislike quite a lot, and move onto the beachfront. Bong's Guesthouse is our next stop, and we soon get up and put our still wet clothes that we have tried to dry for days in a damp room in our bags, and set off for the short journey. We get there and meet Reuben and Olga who we met in Dalat/Mui Ne/Ho Chi Minh, and a Swiss man called Sandro.
After yesterday we are after a much more relaxed day today, so after enjoying a free coffee at the guesthouse we head out for a short stroll. After around ten minutes walking we stumble across a small, empty beach, that is perfect for an hour chilling out. This island is truly amazing at surprising you with random, amazing spots.
We chill there for a bit before we head back to the hostel and check in. The room is very open but okay for the price we are paying. We then chill out in the hostel, making the most of the nice weather.
As night draws in, we fancy a few beers, so, along with Reuben, Olga and Sandro, we grab something to eat and head back to the hostel, making the most of all day happy hour. We then head out to a quiet bar/restaurant where we have a few more Klang's, before heading back. As them three opt to go for a walk, me and Amy sit on the beach having a night cap whilst listening to the waves. It's times like this you think you could stay here for weeks.
As we get back to the hostel, hoping for some sleep, we realise just how thin the ceilings and walls are in this place. There is a party going on downstairs until around 2 AM, and the guests don't stop leaving until around 5. This isn't great when we can hear every music beat and conversation like it was coming from the other side of our room. It's a long night, and we have another one to go yet.Read more
