Kaoh Russei ( Bamboo island ) : the come back !!

Well after Phnom Penh and the Angkor Temples i was missing too much the peaceful atmosphere who reign in Koh Ru island so instead going to the North of Cambodia i decide to came back there.
When i arrived there Mo So was still there and some of the people’s i meet in Cambodia during my travel were here also because of me 🙂
I really enjoy to spend the rest of my Cambodia visa (two weeks) here fishing, doing Yoga and playing guitar with Pedro.
I learn how to fish squid with a line and a fake fish, i spend also 14h in a fishing boat during the night to catch squid and big fish, a really good experience to know better the fisher man’s work, i will never forget this.
The staff and the local people’s in Koh Ru island are really nice especially if it’s your second time and if you spend more than one week over there.
My original plan was to go to Laos after Cambodia but after meeting many traveler and heard many story i decided to follow Mo So and go to Nepal and India after here. The first time i meet him i didn’t change my plans but after few days of reflexion i changed my mind 🙂
Voila two weeks of relaxation in paradise before going to Bangkok for two weeks and go to Nepal on the 27th of November.
I want to make a special dedicate for all the people i meet over there, you all gonna miss me !!
Pedro, Mo So, Oren, Matias, Sabina, Rebeca, Guevo and Guevo, Sarah, Vida, Sophia, Ramone, Prawn, Sun, Nimo, Yot, Fabian, Valeria, Black Mamba, …. Thanks you all, it was a really good time and i had a lot of fun !

Siem Reap and Angkor’s temples

I spend only two nights in Siem Reap to do the Angkor temples, I didn’t really like this city. I find a really good guesthouse: the mad monkey, nice dorms and they have also a top bar with sand in the floor, did they done that just to remember me the time i spend in bamboo island ?
So two days in the Angkor temples, I had a Tuktuk just for me with a really good driver Mr. Path, he is a good guy despite he try to cheat with me at the end with the price ….
I did first the famous temples and finish with a beautiful sunset then the next day i woke up at 4h30 for the sunrise. In two days i almost did all the temples and like everybody know museum is not really my stuff, after nearly 20h visiting temples i was really tired and a bit bored.

I really don’t know what’s happened when i booked  my bus to move in an other place, i change my plans at the last minute to come back in Bamboo island for couples of days.
I did Siem Reap to Koh Ru straight without stopping in Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville to spend one night, two bus and one boat and here i am back to paradise.

Phnom Penh

Well i arrived in Phnom Penh with Guido, Guido and Daro my best Argentine friends and we spend a night together before they leaved to New-Zealand the next day. Phnom Pen is a big city and design by the French, there is still road with French name my French hostel ( Le champs Élysée ), it’s
really funny
The nights are really nice also, many bars and night clubs with lot of young peoples.

Otres Beach, last beach days

After Bamboo island it was really difficult for us to be back to the reality so before heading to phnom penh we chose to stay one more day and night in a little beach call Otres Beach near Sihanoukville. 20121023-084403.jpg20121023-084410.jpg20121023-084416.jpg
Here you don’t have to move of your seat to find something to eat or something to buy, there is many peoples who sell thing’s on the beach during the day, we just passed our time between restaurant and bar buying food and drink all the day, life is really hard here. 20121023-085030.jpg20121023-085037.jpg20121023-085043.jpg20121023-085056.jpg
We find a really good place to sleep and they made terrible dishes here !

Kaoh Russei, Bamboo island

The French couple i meet in Rabbit island said me to go to this place, they said me that it was amazing 🙂

20121021-164829.jpg
So i toke a boat early on the morning.
I meet on the boat two nice guy from Argentina and also them friend, a group of nine Argentine, Brazil and Spanish girls. We arrived in a zen place, a perfect one, beach with white sand, a clear light blue sea, littles bungalows just in front of the sea.

I spend 3 nights here :D, it’s one of my really good moments during my travel. I meet many nice people there and i also did my first Yoga course.
If you want to relax yourself in an natural place far from the tourists you need to go there 🙂
During the night after the power cut we did big fires and enjoy it with my guitar. We remix the song of Jean Jacques Goldman « Bonne idée » by « Holidays »

Sihanoukville

Well, Sihanoukville it’s just a coast city full of restaurant along the beach’s .. Many bar during the night also, I will say it’s like Can Picafort and Alcudia in Mallorca, the beach full of seat, many tourists during the day and during the night many young peoples here to make party during all the night.
I didn’t like this place but i spend 3 nights there …
