After Siem Reap we headed to the third most popular tourist destination in Cambodia called Sihanoukville (Sihanouk was the King of Cambodia in the 1950s and also held many, many political offices in Cambodia). It is a beach town with a relaxed feel. It is hot and humid, but we scored a hotel with AC. We've been here two days and will stay two more. The beach has tons of beach chairs and at night the beach chairs are put away and tables with candles and BBQ stalls are everywhere. There are lots of people selling stuff on the beach (mostly children, which is hard to see) but the most popular are definitely the women selling massages and pedicures. We haven't bought one yet, but it costs about $5 for 30 min massage.
There are lots of activities around here like diving and snorkeling, but we are enjoying just relaxing on the beach, reading, and swimming in the warm water. And the 0.50 cent draft beers served to your beach chair don't hurt!
Next up will be the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, where we will stay a few days and acquire our Vietnam visas. We plan on being in Vietnam around April 1st.
