Beach + monsoon = book

Took a couple of buses down here from Siem Reap. Nice enough little town with some lovely beaches but I hit the bad weather. Was also thinking about maybe doing another scuba dive or 2 but i really need to save the money and the weather being crap made up my mind.

So I sat and read my book about how Nixon and Kissinger are pretty much to blame for leaving Cambodia in the lurch and wide open to Pol Pots resulting atrocities.

2nd day the weather was reasonable and I sat in a cafe by the beach getting harassed by hawkers and kids wanting tin cans or money. Good sunset the that evening and had some really nice fresh squid bbq'd, not a hint of rubber!

Would be a really nice place if the weather was good as its not that busy (yet, give it 5 years I reckon) so you get the white sandy beaches without so many Brits abroad unlike a certain country to the west!

Back to the capital next, fly to Macau soon.
