Last weekend it was our last weekend in Cambodia, so we decided to grab our chance to leave for one last trip! We decided to head to the South of Cambodia to explore the beaches.
As a transportation we chose for a night ride with a hotel bus to Sihanoukville (which was good, we slept the whole time!), the capital of the beaches. Most people stay at this place, but I like to go beyond the commercial touristic places so we planned to stay on the island Koh Rong for the weekend.
A 2,5 hour boat trip brought us to our destination aka paradise! :D We heard from friends that Monkey Island was a good place to stay so we booked our bungalows there. I must admit, it was the best accommodation on the island with the best atmosphere, the best beach bar and our bungalows where located just 20 meters from the ocean. Fantastic! We noticed that a lot of hippies lived there or stayed for a while at least. They smoked weed (which is very illegal in Cambodia, if you are caught you go to jail for at least one year) and did fire acrobatics at night as one big community. They where a good example of people that want to escape from their life at home for a while.
On Sunday we took the boat back to go ashore at Sihanoukville. By tuk-tuk we went to Ostrich, which was one of the best beaches. We relaxed for the afternoon, I even had a massage at the beach (mmmm... :D)! To end our journey, we experienced a beautiful sunset!
