Sihanoukville is a very strange place! Will and I arrived on Saturday and set off on the back of motorbikes to Victory Beach, the main backpacker area according to the Lonely Planet, only to find...absolutely nothing! The whole area was a bit like a ghost town, complete with a herd of cows roaming the beach and the only other tourists seemed to be shady looking older men with Khmer girlfriends.

After the tourist circus of Siem Reap it was really good to have a dose of what Cambodia is really like in the form of Phnom Penh.

We've been staying in an amazing place called the Sun Hut just on the outskirts of town in adorable little huts complete with hammocks, home-made juices and organic food so perfect for plenty of chilling out. Which was very useful to recuperate from out 2-day trekking session. A group of 9 of us set off for 2 days walking in the bush, learning how to bui...
