• Koh Rong Samloem - Goodbye Cambodia!

    August 1, 2023 in Cambodia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Amazing place to round up the Cambodia part of my adventure. I got here from Nestival on Sunday and just took the day to relax. Booked a dive trip for the next day, read a book on the beach and played some games at the hostel with Andy including giant connect 4 and pool. Had my first pad Thai of the trip too. Slightly more expensive here than rest of Cambodia! Next day, I went for a 2 dive day trip. Met Connie who was my buddy for the day and Sean who was my dive master who was very sound - he’d been struck by lightning before?!? The first dive at M’pay bay was short lived, only managed 22 minutes as the visibility was so low and had to abandon the dive as we lost the rest of the group. Second dive was awesome tho with much better visibility and managed 74-76 minutes which was huge! Saw some cool things too. Had lunch and an extra falafel wrap too. Met up with Ben and Fintan, Amy and Tegan in the evening for dinner and proceeded to have the most competitive 20 games or so of smash ball ever, but was awesome. Red wine with dinner was also lovely. Day after, Walked to lazy beach with Amy and Tegan, got rained on for 15 minutes inbetween amazing sun, then came back for boat cruise where we snorkelled, tried to fish, watched the sunset and swam with bioluminescent plankton which was super cool. Rounded off the evening playing president and eating the most amazing red snapper bbq.Read more
