Well this was the island we were always looking for I guess... The daytrippers came and went and left us, a load of cows, chickens, dogs, 5 families and about 15 tourists on a small stretch of beach. 30 minutes from Kep. 4 hours from Phnom Penh. A long way from the beaches of Thailand.
4 days in a place where you order your meal, the waiter takes his trousers off and runs out into the sea to fetch your main course. A bamboo hut, no running water, a couple of hours of electric each night.
Incredible night sky, the birth of a new baby goat (New 'Kid' on the Block - Sarahs gag) and nothing to do but read harrowing books about the Khmer Rouge and listen to Russian propaganda on our new short wave radio.
And to cap it all off, Tom trod on something in the sea, pulled his foot out and found three black and white spikes sticking out of his toe. no idea what they were but they hurt!!
