Today we made a dash for the border into Cambodia. We reached the border only 20 minutes after leaving 4,000 islands. The crossing was pretty flawless, except for numerous stops to pay $1 at least 4 different times (we also had to walk from Laos to Cambodia, 100 yards, between two fences in which we were unsure where we technically were).
Sihanoukville is a little beach town without too many tourists, but doesn’t compare to the beauty of the beaches in Thailand. However, it’s a great break from the long travel and the craziness of Phnom Penh. We found a great guesthouse, G.S.T., that is right on the beach and is $10/night. After arriving in the morning of the 8th we immediately went down to the beach and went for a swim to cool off. Unfortunately, the water is extremely hot, probably more so than the air temperature, so it wasn’t too refreshing. That night we had a great BBQ dinner on the beach, which is covered with BBQ restaurants and comfy chairs with candlelight.
