Days 132-133 -- Siem Reap to Sihanoukville

Cambodia is such a funny place that to get anywhere you have to go through Phnom Penh. After a day at the temples we were ready for the beach so we hopped on a morning bus Tuesday back to PhnomPenh. Stayed again at the welcoming Number 9 Guest house . Already seen most of PP and had a morning bus so had a relaxed night watching a movie in the bar area. Wednesday morning we were on the 9am bus to Sihanoukville...4 hours late we arrived. It would have been so much easier to just go directly from Siem Reap...but its just not possible. Anyways, it feels good to be at the beach again. As soon as you got off the bus you could smell the beach and sense the laid-back vibe of the town. Spent the afternoon lounging around on the beach. The water was is perfect so you can swim for as long as you like...beats these cold waterfalls lately! Only get to spend a couple of days here since we need to make a move towards Vietnam...going to look to get a bungalow on the beach tomorrow since we spotted a few out today that looked empty. This is a totally unexpected side of Cambodia and am glad we decided to stop in instead of going straight to Vietnam. The beach is the perfect end to what has been an interesting week in Cambodia...from rockets to Killing Fields to Angkor Wat to sand...I didn't expect all this when I crossed the border.
