Back to the Beach

---

So, though we'd already been there, we headed back to the beach. We had played around with the idea of going to Kampong Cham, but it felt like forced tourism. We would have been going there just because we hadn't been there before. According to Lonely Planet and the few people we talked to in Phnom Penh, there isn't much to see in Kampong Cham. There's supposed to be some temples, but they apparently haven't been reconstructed much since the Khmer Rouge destroyed everything, and we heard that they're dissapointing to visit right after Angkor Wat.
So I was very happy when Anisa suggested we abandon out northward travel plans and head south back to the beach. We skipped Kep and Kampot and just stayed at Serendipity close to where we had been before. Anisa treated me to a nicer guest house right on the beach. The weather was better this time too and the ocean was a dreamy turquoise. We arrived on Sunday, so there was a bit of a crowd on the beach since Khmer families come there on the weekends. By Monday it was deserted and we had the place to ourselved. We only stayed a couple days because Anisa and I both leave Thursday for the States and we had some last minute errands to run in Phnom Penh before we take off.
This was a very relaxing and nice end to a long month in Cambodia.

Cows
In Cambodia I saw cows in school yards, in the roads, in rice paddies, even on the beach. They were docile, placid and everywhere.

Anisa
It never fails when travelling with one other person: all my pictures are of Anisa. I can only hope all of her pictures are of me so we can switch.
