Day 2 on Koh Rong Samloem
After some tasty breakfast at FanFan's we set off in search of Lazy Beach which is over the other side of the island. The beach is only accessible via a jungle trek. After a 15 min walk we came across a jungle path unaware that it was to a different beach. After a fun 45min walk through thick jungle terrain, crossing broken bridges and rocky ledges we found a beach - Sunset Beach not Lazy Beach. Never mind!
We found a beach bar called Huba Huba and borrowed some snorkelling gear. Spending about an hour in the water, we saw some amazing spotty and striped fish, mostly around large rocks.
We decided to leave and get back to our bungalow in plenty of time before the sun went down. We enjoyed the trek back and felt really happy walking hand in hand across Saracen Bay as the sun started to set. The scenery is gorgeous. What a perfect day!
Back in the bungalow, Steph had a quick shower and while she was getting dressed, Max went to the bar next door to get some beers. Max got back with the beers and suggested we go find a bar for a few drinks. Along the way we decided to stop for a quick selfie with the beach and ocean in the background. Max pointed out that someone had written a message in the sand and asked Steph what it said. Little did she know that Max had written the words "Steph will you marry me?" in the sand whilst he was out getting the beers. After Steph had read the message she turned round to see Max on one knee holding a ring.
He asked the question, and once over the initial shock, Steph said 'yes of course'. Although a little snug in the heat, the ring fit perfectly.
We headed on down the beach to the bar with the pool table where we got a bottle of bubbly on ice and made a toast on the beach. The perfect end to a perfect day!
