Back to the Beach!

View of the beach on Bamboo Island at BimBamBoo, a resort on the other side of the island. Only a five minute walk on a pathway thru a jungle where I came across 2 cows, one even let me pet it!
Whipped cream fight
Pyramid, we had to put the dog on top as there weren't enough girls. What we won't do for a shooter!
The boys playing poker with seashells
Arriving at Bamboo Island, the shoreline with only 10 huts and a dorm on this beach. So peaceful and quiet!

My little spot to watch the sunset turned around and saw the lone footsteps on the beach, very cool

Sokha Beach
Small children working on the Sohka beach selling fruit and drinks.
Climbing on/over the rocks to get to Sohka beach, was worth the trip but we found a nice pathway to get back home on.
A cool rock I just had to climb up and pose on!
Fashion statement in Cambodia, I tried many times to be inconspicuous and take a picture of these women and children walking around in 2 piece pajama sets!

After a month and a half of inland traveling in mid 30s temperatures it's great to be back at the beach! Hence the slow down of updating my blog, plus with the poor or lack of Internet service in Laos and Cambodia.
Sihanoukville is the resort spot of Cambodia so fairly busy but I found a couple little great getaways spots with quiet sandy beaches and crystal blue water. One place was called Sokha Beach which was a 5 star resort. We paid $4 to use their beach chairs, a luxurious velour beach towel, showers/toilets and swimming pool and what a treat it was! I felt like I was living the high life for a day!
I also went to a great spot called Bamboo Island where I spent the night in a rustic little hut (from luxury to roughing it in 1 day, I'm so adaptable!) right on the beach, going to sleep listening to the crashing waves and waking up to the same sound, best sleep I had in a long time! Especially after the crazy night we had of competing for shooters, swimming at midnight with the phosphorences again and whipped cream fights! Quiet island but the 30 some people there know how to liven things up!
One of the great things about Sihanoukville is at night all the places along the beach have $3 seafood BBQs so we quite often feasted on the beach. Also we had some amazing rain showers and thunder/lightening shows at night, which was fun and cooled us off.
