Saturday 1pm. - Well that was the worst shared taxi I have ever been in. It was a mini van and at one point we had a motorbike and several people sitting on the platform that they had lowered from the back!! There was a very old lady - not me someone even older - who couldn't walk and had to be lifted in and out - she still didn't get a seat to herself. I was on the front seat - at one time there were 6 of us in the front - including the driver. Luckily he was a very good driver - needed to be as he was driving with a lady (larger than me) sharing his seat (and to be honest he wasn't the smallest Cambodian I have seen)!! To complete the package his conductor (for want of another word) got drunk and made a pass at me.

So to sum up:

2 and half hour journey - 5 hours due to stops, starts and to be honest traffic (public holiday)

Mini bus designed for 12 passenger - at least 23 at one point

And instead of the man of my dreams - a drunk

On the bright side the other passengers were delightful.

I missed the ferry but so did Ian and Shiela so I have spent the time making sure I have a bus going home!! I am now drinking beer.

Saturday 5.20pm - Boat out was great. The bungalow is basic but it basically has everything you need - would fail Vicki's rating for loos as it does not have a working lock. Ah well we can all sing!!

Sunday 8.30am - Swimming at 6.30am in the sea is a pleasure that is hard to beat. The water was crystal clear and there was only us swimming. Now enjoying breakfast on the beach - see picture.
