Cambodia Trip Day 7

Another road trip…we first had a flight back to Phnom Penh then a taxi to Sihanoukville, which is a city on the coast of Cambodia. We were only going to be in Sihanoukville for one night before heading to Monkey Island bungalows on Koh Rong Island.

The flight was smooth and the taxi ride was smoother than the ride from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. The main road from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville is freshly paved and there wasn’t as many villages along the side of the road during the drive. We drove past many mountains which provided great scenery during the drive and was a nice break from being in the city.

As we were getting close to the coastline, I could smell the fresh ocean water. It reminded me of being back in Tampa. Once we reached our hotel we quickly changed and walked to Sokha beach to relax and catch the sunset. The water was the perfect temperature and the sand is white. It Doesn’t get much better than that…

After getting some shots of the sunset, which was gorgeous, we boarded a tuk tuk back to the hotel for an amazing seafood dinner. We had been looking forward to dinner at our hotel since we had booked it. Coolabah is known for the seafood. I ordered a crab dish and Jeff ordered a seafood platter. Neither of us were disappointed.

We took a short walk around to see the night life around Sihanoukville, which was actually pretty dead that night. We had heard from multiple people that the nightlife around Sihanoukville is a lot of fun…oh well. Back to the hotel we went. It was time for some rest after a travel day…
