Island trip and GOODBYE Sihanoukville

We leave around noon today for Koh Kong. It's a district in the southwestern part of Cambodia in the Cardamom mountains. I'm told that wifi and cell service is spotty at best there so you might not hear from us for a few days!  We are staying at a floating lodge on a river and I think it will redeem our Sihanoukville experience. 

Our boat trip yesterday was great.  We had booked tickets on "The Party Boat" so we were a little nervous that the crowd would not be our style but it turns out the party boat doesn't really have much partying on it which was fine with us.  

The boat left around 930 and went to a small island where you could jump out and snorkel.  The water was rough and there wasn't much to see so that was a bummer but jumping off the top of a three story boat was fun.  Brandon has pics so I'll post them later when we have better wifi.  It's so slow here that even emailing pictures to each other takes an hour.  

The boat went to the island of Koh Rong Samloem  next which was beautiful.  Pretty much a post card picture of paradise.  When I was researching Sihanoukville I had read you could rent beach bungalows there but I thought we would like the city life of Sihanoukville more.  Well I was wrong!  We met a nice couple on the boat that were staying in the bungalows for 3 nights and we were very jealous. 

We got to swim around and lay on the beach for a few hours then it was back to Sihanoukville.  

I'll end on a high note. Below is a picture of Koh Rong Samloem.
