Dnes odpocinkovy den. Na ranajky vybehnutie do neakej ulicky. Tu nudlova polivka a v nej par kuskov crev. Ble. S poulicnym jedlom inak dost problemy. Vsade maju to iste. Odovzdanie motorky, mi ani nedal zlavu za pokazenu motorku. Majitel mi len povedal, ze dobre ze si nepoziciavam motorku i dnes. Dnes ide vela ludi k pagode a vsetci sa idu ozrat, tak to bude na cestach trochu nebezpecne. Inak zadok ma riadne boli. Na ubytku relax. Z dormu prakticky skoro vsetci check out. Prvy raz som videl zidovky a ze vauuuu. V pristresku oproti baru prieskum ubytiek v sihanoukville. No nic moc, dobre drahe. Asi tam ostanem len dve noci a potom na jednu sem. Zabookovane ubytka na mojom eurotripe. Pod 17€ eur za dorm som sa nedostal, zlata azia. Ubytka samozrejme s moznostou zrusenia, okrem ... read more

Noc nakonec v pohode. Este ma napadlo nieco zo vcera ked som bol na pive. Dosol tam asi 50rocny beloch, uz mal nieco v sebe. Objednal si pivo. Odpil a vratil ho nazad, ze toto neni dobre, inde maju lepsie. Ako fakt ozraly dement. Vonku rano (8.30) pod mrakom. Na ranajky idem asi 5min k soche durianu (street 701) Tu zapadam do miestnej vyvarovne. Dostavam rozvarenu ryzu a v druhej miske malu rybu. Fajn jedlo len dufam, ze sa z toho neposerem. Cestou na ubytko sa rozhodujem, idem na motovylet. Motorka rovnaka cena na ubytku ako cez cestu. Ono je to podla mna jedna firma aj ked to ma iny nazov. Prichadza chlapik, podpisujem tlacivo, nechavam pas a fasujem prilbu. Tu menim za novu s plexisklom vpredu. Palolivo na pumpe. Platim v domacej mene, no stojany ... read more

Fajn vyspati i ked hore uz od 7.00. Bolo trochu ocut aj premavku z vonku. Wifi mi rano neslo ale este vcera som zistil, ze grab k killing fields stoji 16k k (jeden smer) Po opusteny hotelu sa na mna vrha hned riksak. Tak zistujem cenu, 30usd. No nic. Nevzdava sa a ide se mnu asi 50m. Nakonec mu prcham. Hned sa na mna vesia motorkar, 10usd. Nezajem. No on ma stale sleduje, vravim, ze idem jest nech da pokoj. Nedal, cakal kym sa najem a furt za mnu. Spusta na 9, vravim 8usd. To sa mu nelubi, vraj musi jest a bla bla. Nakonec povoluje, cakacka dohodnuta na hodinu. Je to stary chuj, furt po ceste hundre, sak su to len dva dolare. Premavka hrozna, v meste by som si veru netrufol soferovat. Ideme na ... read more

Sihanoukville, is a small city in Cambodia, it is considered to be a tourist town. However, I believe it's definitely geared towards a particular niche of people. There are restaurants, casinos and beaches- some beautiful, others not so good. While I do enjoy going to the beach occasionally, there is sadly little else for me to do here. That probably has something to do with the fact that I prefer walkable cities, with lots to do and see. Nevertheless, I know that a lot of people visit Sihanoukville and find it to be a great city. So much so, that many decide to retire here. There are expats who have been living here for many years and plan on continuing to live here. For me, I believe the draw must be the relatively cheap cost of ... read more

Phnom Penh is one of those crazy cities that you either love or hate… on my first visit in 2007 I hated it. I stayed out of the tourist area, walked back to our hotel from a terrible dinner and had children pulling at us begging. The streets were dark and dingy and we felt very unsafe… However fast forward 11 years and it is one of my favourites! Here is my guide to your time in Phnom Penh Accommodation I absolutely love the MAADS chain of hotels – they have several in differing budgets… and Urban Teahouse is my number one, followed closely by the ever popular Blue Lime. Blue Lime is walking distance to the river and a firm favourite of many travellers. I highly recommend both of the above, but their other hotels ... read more
