Recovery and moving on.

PHOTOS! (Sorry, the first few are quite grim)

The vast number of pills that we're taking for the next 3 weeks.

Thankfully, after a few days at nice hotels eating good western food (great pies, but still nothing on Faye's) Michelle was feeling well enough to move on, so we headed down to the beach. Its amazing how much you can miss the sea. We've been inland for nearly 3 months - it was refreshing to see the glinting water on the horizon, and smell the sweet salty air again. The sea is quite warm, so its not exactly refreshing to take a dip, but still. After a few more days in Sihnoukville Michelle felt much better so we decided to take a wee boat trip to some of the outer islands for snorkeling. Well - there was one ok ish spot, but because it rained the previous night visibility was quite low, and there seemed to be another storm rolling in (although it never rained on us). Thankfully it cleared just as we got back.

Koh Russei - probably the most beautiful spot in Cambodia

Serendipity Beach - the main beach at Sihnoukville


Actually quite beautiful, although by NZ standards it could do with a bit of a tidy up. There are hawkers (you can see one in the right of the last picture) walking up and down harassing you to buy fruit, sunglasses, bracelets and loads of other crap we don't need. Still, they're just trying to make a living...

We leave for Kampot tomorrow, then to Vietnam the following day - Can't wait!
