I felt so blessed to be able to go back on a hiking trail today! A hiking Mareike is a happy Mareike :)

We did a 4 hour trail to the very southern tip of Koh Rong Samloem. At the tip, after an hour through the jungle (we meet all sorts of freaky insects and frogs), there is a simple lighthouse which we climbed to get a view over the entire island. Such a good time!

The weather was quite "moody" again, but we enjoyed both the rain and the dry. The rain made our trek into a fun apid riverbed, and while on top of the lighthouse, the weather was excellent and dry for the view. Later in the day, a highlight was a gigantic version of "pick up sticks" (we call it Mikado in German) we played out of a pile of long, thick sticks we found at the beach (about 2-3 meters each). We're quite sad we will be leaving the island tomorrow, but excited for our next adventure in Angkor Wat.Read more
