• Bong's Guesthouse, Koh Rong, Day 2

    November 14, 2017 in Cambodia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    So it's the morning and both of us have had a rather sleepless night. We manage to drag ourselves out of bed for the free breakfast and meet the other three. Last night we had promised to go on a trek with them today, but that was before last night. Fortunately for us, they were kept up as well (they stayed in the dorm and as well as the noise, had a sick soaked bathroom to cope with). So we all decide a shorter walk is in order. We head out after Sandro gets a new hotel, and after around quarter of an hour, find 4k beach. As with most places here, it's a beautiful stretch of white sand and crystal clear sea.
    A young Cambodian girl entertains us for a while by being crazy, as we dip in and out of the water and Reuben shares some beers around. This was just what we needed after last night. As midday crawls around, Amy is in the sea with the little girl trying to catch fish in a water bottle, and the rest of us are either laying on the beach, or floating on the water. Apart from Sandro, who is surprisingly agile on the water for such a large man.
    As dinner comes around we eat on the beach, before deciding to rest in some deck chairs. It doesn't take long for every one of us to be fast asleep. It is over an hour later when we all wake. Reuben is seriously burnt, and we're all still pretty knackered, so we drag Sandro from the water where he has been the full time we've been sleeping, and head back to the hotel.
    We all go out for tea again, before a final walk on the beach, and our final night in Koh Rong is over (when the music stops at 2)
