Sihanoukville, Cambodia.... a breath of fresh air..

After Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville has been a breath of fresh air and how I had hoped Cambodia would be. It's a coastal town on the edge of the Gulf of Thailand and we spent a day travelling by boat to little islands to snorkel, eat al fresco on the beaches and soak up the sun. The sea was so calm and flat as we motored along that it seemed to merge with the sky on the horizon. And it feels like you are swimming in a warm bath. Ate barbecued barracuda which tastes hugely better than it looks when it is alive - barracuda has a face that only a mother can love!

Pre-warning if it is rainy and cold in the U.K..... gorgeous beaches coming up!

  1. Beautiful, serene and yes...warm looking..in fairness we've had a very good 25 degC or so for 4 days now...heh, heh!! Lots of pinkness about, and other stuff I've seen that I can't really share with Mary, if you know what I mean...! How life can take on a bright side...

    See that bottle on the beach...I'm sure I saw the same one at the esplanade at Greenock not so long ago..?
