We arrived on Serendipity Beach in Sihanoukville (named after King Sihanouk), and Martin immediately became ill. A fever is a scary thing in a Malarial country, especially one with very poor medical, but we were able to get some blood tests done and clear of any bad disease - peace of mind. So, relaxing a little on the beach was finally in order.
The Cambodians tend to build a little too close to the beach and when tide is in, there is hardly any beach left. There were some good places to eat, and hang out in hammocks. Like I said earlier, we took a motorbike around the area and saw the fishing village built on stilts with rickety old plank walkways between the huts (don't look down because all you can see is garbage). Checked out all the other beaches in the area, while avoiding the crazy drivers. We also checked out a place called the Snake House, which had tons of dangerous snakes in cabinets around the restaurant, and even inside the tables. Cobras, pythons, tree snakes, etc, even a live croc in the pond.
Another day we took a boat trip out to the small islands off the coast of Cambodia. The snorkelling was better than expected and the relaxing on the beach was not bad either. Earl and I even went out to help the fishermen collect some kind of mussels, and Michelle did her usual beach combing, coming up with some real neat looking shells!! Snooky was a good time, but time to move on to Kampot. *Stub
