koh rong

Apologies for the lack of blog entry recently! I arrived on the cambodian island of koh rong and as I was about to write my first entry I got struck with food poisoning (again) and have been in bed for a few days.
Anyway, I am feeling better and ready to tell you all about this lovely island.
I am travelling with a very nice spanish couple at the moment and as we came off the ferry, I met a group of people I had met during my travels in vietnam. South east asia is a small world when it comes to backpacking.
One of these guys was actually working at a popular hostel and got us a bungalow at low season rates which was a great bonus!
There are 24 beaches on the island and the main one is lined with wooden and bamboo guesthouses, bars and restaurants. It is not at all high-rise and they have managed to maintain a a castaway vibe. There is a local village with cheap food to the left of the pier and a more western style to the right.
There is not too much to do but swimming, sunbathing and playing volleyball has been keeping us occupied.
I invited a few cambodian guys to play volleyball with us and they were so enthusiastic. They just could not stop laughing and I think they were mainly laughing at us! That was a really nice experience.
