Koh Rong

For the last period of our Cambodian trip, we wanted to visit two islands. The first one was Koh Rong!
After going from Kampot to Sihanoukville by bus, we took two ferries to reach our destination.

Our accomodation was on Sok San Beach on the western side of the island - a wooden bungalow with hammocks and sea view 😎 The town was pretty small with a few hotels on the beach front, a handful of shops and some restaurants (one was the famous pizza place called Toto's). We went there twice because it was right next to us, it provided us with Wifi (we had neither service on that part of the island nor wifi in our hotel) and we were really craving pizza 🍕😆 Also, we made a new friend 😺

The first day we just went snorkeling, relaxed on the beach and did the jungle walk. After some time, there was a house in the middle of the jungle with three kids listening to Cambodian music and dancing. Of course we joined and had a short dance battle with the oldest kid 🕺

The next day we decided to join a boat tour that included snorkeling, local fishing and a plankton experience. That trip was a lot of fun and we enjoyed it a lot. The reef for snorkeling was quite nice, our fishing was pretty unsuccessful but at our beach stop we enjoyed some beers with locals and enjoyed the sunset at a funky but luxurious resort 🍻🌅
On our way back, it was already dark and our last stop was jumping into the dark water with our snorkeling masks. Moving quickly in the water, we were able to experience the bioluminescent plankton glowing in the water 💙

In order to see more of Koh Rong, we rented a scooter to go up north the next day. We wanted to visit Olivier's and Julie's Firefly Guesthouse, where they stayed while visiting Koh Rong on their Cambodian trip back then 🥰 After visiting the guesthouse, we enjoyed a breakfast in the little local village of Preaek Svay. Afterwards we went to the cute Lily's Guesthouse to rent a kayak. We explored the mangroves and another beach close by where only a few local kids where playing 🛶🤸‍♀️
We ended our day trip at Lonely beach before heading back to our village to enjoy our last evening on Koh Rong Island 🏝️

At last, how many pets can you spot around the drawer? 😆Baca lagi
