Tonight is my last night in Cambodia. It's 12:30 am and I just finished packing my backpack, only to realize that half of my clothes are still at the place I dropped them off to have laundered. Hopefully they open early, I'm leaving at 8am. I stayed here in the port/beach town of Sihanoukville for a nice, relaxing and lazy eight days. Not a lot of sightseeing, partly because its been raining almost everyday (mixed in with blistering sunshine), but mostly because there's not a lot to see. Spent some of my time at the beach, Sihanoukville has several decent ones, and most of it by the swimming pool that is just steps from my room. I also spent a few days riding around on motorbikes checking out the area. There's a small mountain in Sihanoukville, at the top of which sits a beautiful temple, Wat Leu. The temple has a nicely landscaped garden with several interesting sculptures, as well as sweeping views of the Sihanoukville peninsula. I visited a beautiful waterfall, Kbal Chhay, about 15 km outside of town. On the way back, I stopped for lunch at an interesting place, the Snake House and Crocodile farm, where a live crocodile sat about 8 feet away from me watching me eat my lunch. They had dozens of displays of live snakes from all over the world as well.
I have my visa for Vietnam in hand, and tomorrow morning I leave for the island of Phu Quoc. Should be an interesting travel day as there's no real direct way to get there from here and I will have to wing it from the Cambodia/Vietnam border. Once I cross the border, I will be taking a boat from the town of Ha Tien. Hopefully there are several trips a day or I may have to spend the night and catch one in the morning.
