      boats and chills

      November 16, 2016 in Cambodia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Dear travel journal,
      Last night was a bit of a rough one. I woke up about 1.30am and saw a bunch of messages on my phone. Turns out euan had come back and was vomiting and then passed out in bed. But felix had disappeared. Blake and gus went out looking for him but hadnt had any luck and came back about middnight and there had still been no word. So i headed over to blake and felixs room and had a chat with blake and we came up with the plan to wait a couple more hours (cause drunk felix sometimes does this) and then get limney to send out a search party. I stayed so blake could get some sleep and ended up asleep in felixs bed being woken up just after 4am by banging on the door. Felix was standing theree shirtless and completely sandy in one piece, phone and wallet in hand. I let him in and left them too it heading back to my own room.... oh dear, thankfully he is ok...
      This morning we were up early this morning and headed downstairs and jumped into tuk tuks which took us to a little local cafe for breakfast put on by todays local tour guide. Then we headed out onto the jetty and jumped onto a little boat and after a photo with a police officer and our boat man hot wired the motors on our boat (just lol) we were off. It was hot and sunny and a beautiful clear day and the water is so clear it was awesome. We headed out to an island and dropped the anker and everyone jumped in for a snorkel. I stayed in the boat and read and lay around relaxing and took pictures. It was nice. Then we headed off to a second island this time all getting off the boat as this is where we where spending a few hours. It was like a little tropical island holiday resort in the middle of no where lol. It was very cool. With recling beach chairs lined up under the overhanging trees looking out to the ocean and other islands, with a volley ball court, dogs and puppies running around and sleeping everywhere underneth proples seats and our esky set up with water, soft drinks and beers. It was pretty cool. We all picked a seat and jumped in for a swim. The water was so warm, almost like bath water i was very nice. Then we chillaxed in our chairs chatting and some people played volley ball. Then we had a tasty lunch and tom and i kicked a soccer ball for a bit ehile felix and gus played with a frisbee and we all just spent the time lounging and swimming, and i had a little nap. And then we jumped back on the boat and headed to a third island were we jumped in and some people snorkled and a couple of us just swam a bit and sunbacked on the boat. At this point poor limney had had a couple of drinks and was quite entertaining. Then once we were done, we all settled in for the boat ride back to the jetty. I sat on the front of the boat and just looked out at the ocean and listened to music. It was very relaxing. Back on land and we headed back to the hotel. Dana and bianca went for a arvo walk while i had a shower and got my bags sorted and read for a bit. Then i walked down to the beach for dinner with the boys. Same restaraunt on the beach front as yesterday but today we have big round loung chairs which were amazing. We just chatted and ate and enjoyed the atmosphere and then headed back to the hotel fairly early. On the way we passed a guy who recognised felix and stopped him to see if he was ok. Turns out he got supe drunk, tried to pee somewhere he was allowed and pushed a local guy (luckily a good one...) and then passed out on a seat and vomited with his head back and the guy pushed his head forward and put water over his face and cleaned out his mouth. Then he passed out on the beach and ran home... just wow - could have been a completely different story. Then the kiwi boys, dana, bianca and i crashed one of the boys rooms and we just chatted and listened to music for ages and then headed off to bed.
