This weekend we took a much needed break and spent a weekend at the beach in Sihanoukville. It was pretty amazing. The drive was about 4 hours outside of Phnom Penh. It was not bad at all. The driver had some karaoke DVD's that we watched and sang along with. The songs were really horrible but that just made it all the more entertaining. The AC worked really well and the scenery was beautiful as we got closer.
Our hotel had a pool and was right across the street from the beach.
The rooms were nice, we had a balcony and a bathroom. We are pretty spoiled at the villa and actually have a tub with a shower and hot water. Most bathrooms in Phnom Penh are like the one we had in the hotel where it's all in one little room, everything gets wet, and there's no hot water.
On the beach there were women walking around with baskets of food on their heads. Some had fruit.......
They take it right off their heads and cut it up for us.
This girl helped cut up the fruit and balanced her tray of lobsters while she cut.
I had mango and bananas. Soooooo good.
We had squid cooked right in front of us on the sand.
And we had deep fried lobster. Although they call these lobsters but they're not what we call lobsters. She skinned the top and put salt/pepper/lime on them. 10 for $3 and delicious.
You could also get manicures, pedicures, and massages on the beach.
It was a nice relaxing weekend - now we teach.
