fire! 26 secs
After some serious hiking throughout Siem Reap with all the temples, I hung out in Sihanouk ville for a little while with the mission of relaxing, soaking up the sun on a hammock, reading a good book, getting drunk, and making some money playing Texas holdem. Mission accomplished!
It's pretty hot over in Cambodia, and the breeze coming from the ocean cooled thing off nicely over there. I spent a lot of time with a magnificent local girl there, and she showed me around her place. With her I was able to eat things that the locals do that weren't even on the menus..and I must say, it was pretty damn good food!
We also made our way over to Koh Rung, a little island about 2 hours out, which was extremely peaceful. It seemed at times we were the only people there. The water was a beautiful turquoise and the perfect temperature for swimming night and day. The resort we stayed at was called Monkey Island. They had beach bungalows which were right on the beach with a view of the ocean. Time it took to get to the ocean from the bungalows was a whopping 15 seconds
by foot.. We picked snails from the ocean and the staff cooked them up for us for a minor fee. I had escargot once in Paris which was just
nasty..but these tasted excellent. Also did a little fishing by boat which didn't seem that stable..what with 2 worker kids running this way and that throwing fish at me... Fortunately everyone survived the experience. It was pretty cool. We didn't use fishing poles..just did as the locals, with some fishing line rolled around cylinder. Staff cooked up those fish for us too. I highly recommend staying at Monkey Island..
