It was still dark when eyes had to be open and body needed to move. The time was 05.30 when the taxi took us to the airport. It was time to leave Vietnam and go explore Cambodia, one of my big highlights on this trip. 

After queuing for hours for check-in, immigration and security we boarded this tiny little propeller plane. The plane had almost passed its "best before day", but at least it managed one more short flight to take us to Sihanoukville, Cambodia. 

On bumpy roads that could need some TLC we were taken to our accommodation. A little hotel three minutes walk to the beach, but without sea view due to the big complexes being built in front. Apparently the Chinese has taken over a lot of the beachfronts building massive luxury hotels and casinos etc. So very sad to see. In the area we stay there is still a bit of the original character left, but also big building sites... 

We took a walk on the lovely white sand beach, and had a couple of dips in the bathtub warm ocean. How lovely!! All I missed was a "noodle" so that I could float around there the entire day. 

Back at the hotel we continued to soak in the pool, until a storm came in. It rained hard for a short while but cleared up nicely so that we could find a lovely spot where they served local beer for $0.50 and fresh spring rolls, where we sat and admired the sunset. A new storm blew in and it was very dark, so time to go back and have an early night after a very early morning.
