Sihanoukville

We got a bus from the school to Sihanoukville which we was told would only take 3 hours. In Cambodia you expect 3 hours is roughly around 4 hours or so. We waited for over two hours for the bus to come, it finally picked us up and was over crowded with locals and a monk. I got told to sit next to the Monk and he refused me due to me having a vest top on, needless to say I was beginning to get annoyed by this, anyway I finally managed a seat next to a local girl. We were finally on our way, when the bus driver told everyone who was heading to Sihanoukville to get off and wait '5 mins', we got off and was on a motorway in the middle of nowhere waiting for another bus ( it came after 35mins). This again was very crowded, however this time we had our seats reserved probably because we paid more than the locals. I instantly felt bad because the locals had to get off our seats and stand/seat in the aisle, some of them were clearly over 70 years of age. The bus driver gave them a plastic seat to sit in the Aisle, so that made me feel much better, you can't have the elderly standing all that way! All in all we arrived some 7 hours later, 4 hours more than expected which by Cambodian standards is good going.

Otres Beach at night.

Dinner

We made our way to the hotel we stayed at before in March, it was luxury with a pool and only for $16 or Ten pounds English. We booked for 7 nights and ended up staying 11 nights. Just as we left the Village James woke up being sick and a high temperature, so when we arrived at the hotel , we went and stocked up on tablets for him. The next day I caught what James had and we were both ill for a few days, not ideal but we had 11 days to play around with. When we were finally better we managed to go out; Sihanoukville is a party place and there isn't much to do other than eat,drink and sunbathe. Feeling much better we got a moped out and headed to the secluded part called Otres Beach, where we had dinner on the beach :) 

Football in the bar and winning our bet :) 

After dinner we headed to a few bars along the beach front, I was happy that I found a bar that played Drake, Lil Wayne and others haha, I was in my element with my $1.00 vodka redbulls. After a certain time of night you can have laughing gas for only a dollar. I think James got addicted and I am now calling him Blake ( Amy Winehouse's ex husband) haha ;). To put it bluntly this place in Cambodia is like the Magaluf of Spain, you can even add ' Happy' on to anything, food, drinks etc for no extra, they practically give away weed for free! 

We decided to book a tour as all we were doing was sleeping a lot, the tour was a party boat that went to another Island called Koh Rong.The Island is secluded and only has electricity for 4 hours per day, so we decided to just go for the day. We got on the boat the next day and what a journey it ended up being. They gave away little plastic bags, which we soon found out where for sea sickness, everywhere we looked there was Chinese Tourists being sick in bags. I thought we got lucky then about a hour in I started to feel very sick, luckily I wasn't actually sick though! The tour on the boat included a lunch buffet and snorkelling,the Chinese tourists were so greedy. When we went down to finally get some lunch, it had practically all gone. There was enough rice to feed 300 people ( literally) and they seemed to be piling enough portions of their plates for 4 people, no lie. Me and James ended up with a little bit of rice, we didn't let it bother us too much though. When it came for the time to snorkel the Chinese tourists again were the first to get to the front to make sure they did it first, needless to say they annoyed me so much that I didn't end up even bothering to try snorkelling.  We was on the boat for some hours by this point and still not at the Island.We finally arrived and only had 2 hours on the island, the boat we was on was too big to dock, we had to get in little fishing boats and then jump into the water to reach the shore. I literally couldn't jump and got myself stuck on the boat, much to the annoyance of James. Anyways I finally faced my fear and jumped in the water haha, and we found a secluded part of the beach and sunbathed for a couple of hours, it was now time for the boat home ( nice and easy). On our way home our boat took a little detour, the boats captain said the waves were too high to dock at the main pier. We ended up being stuck on the boat for another few hours, it was starting to get dark and the Chinese tourists were still being demanding as ever. They got little fishing boats to take us to the main pier in another town. There was 200 people to get in to two little fishing boats, so we had to wait our turn and just about got on the third boat. The tour finally ended 3 hours over the time we were due back, and it all felt like that we was stuck on a boat all day. All in all it wasn't a good tour, laying in bed at night the room was spinning, I literally had sea sickness in bed from the boat! 

James

Having dinner on the beach.

That night we went out to the front and went to the bars again, they offered free beers or whiskey most nights which we took of course. There wasn't much else to do in Sihanoukville, other than drink etc, so one night we managed to find a casino. James will find a place to bet anywhere he goes! We visited the Casino about two times during our time there and won some dollar each time ( Only because I was so good at roulette) ;) . I don't think there was a dress code in the Casino as the local women were in their pj's betting away their money. Cambodia is so poor so it shocked me to see them betting their money away ( lets hope they were winners). 

Otres Beach

The last couple of days we headed to Otres Beach as it was so pretty and relaxed. I got a manicure on the beach for $2 , might as well for that money you can't complain. On the beach there was local children who would try and sell you things,they clearly did not like James, he told them he had 5 girlfriends and they was annoyed by this . The little girl said to James 'you are nasty and I will get my brothers to cut off your banana' haha. She then goes 'why do you need another girlfriend when your girlfriend here( me) has big boobs like Nikki Minaj'. I carried on letting them abuse James, then she got a stick and starting whacking him with it haha. That will teach him.... After a while they were calling him gay and lesbian, and carried on hitting him, so I eventually told her to stop and that he was only joking. She then goes to me 'you can lie to yourself, but not your heart'. I think she got a little crazy and I had to tell her to calm down and chill out. 

So after 11 days in Sihanoukville, we finally decided to move on to another city called Kampot.

Sorry this blog isn't as detailed, we literally slept, drank and ate for 11 days :) 

Georgia & James :)
