As predicted the lot of us were all hungover and all of us had to move on that day, not a good day for it. We all slumped about the hostel bar/restaurant for what breakfast we could get down us and proceeded to slump around the pool until our buses around. I was travelling to Dalat with Hannah and a couple of Dutch girls and when our mini bus arrived we assumed it must be dropping us off at a bus depot to pick up a proper bus, as this mini bus was hot, no air con...

So the next day, I get up say goodbye to the Danes and head 3 doors down to get the bus to Mui Ne, couldn’t be more perfectly located. Got on the bus for the few hours journey and the bus is brilliant. Free water and wifi (yep it’s the small things in life) and it’s a sleeper bus, great for me but not sure if taller people would find it as comfortable.

Bit of a result, I had booked a 12 bed room but they...

Before heading to the island of Koh Rong I had a couple of nights in Sihanoukville and due to the inning with both the lunar new year and a big Russian festival (which was actually cancelled) accommodation was scarce and double the normal cost, I had to find my hostel on Airbnb. But once I arrived at Sihanoukville I checked into the very nice Backpackers Heaven a sweaty 1km walk away from the bus station. The first day was an easy recovery day from the night bu...
