ARGGhhh! Sihanoukville.....this place still gives me nightmares. We arrived to the beach mid day from Kep and instantly got hounded by vultures, these girls offering bracelets, waxing, manicures... their relentless in their selling. Horrible, vile people, who despite saying "no thanks" and "sorry but i don`t want it" hundreds of times they still continue to harass, actually trying to tie things to you as you walk or sit, eventually when you do break free they hurl abuse from afar. At one point one of the girls screamed "i hope u F@#*ing fall and die, and so does all your family" *gulp* another girl tried throwing my own drink over me at one point for not wanting a ankle bracelet. I hated this beach with a passion i really did, and the idea of doing a island hoping adventure the following morning was warmly welcomed.
This day out i loved to bits, i`d never done much snorkeling in my life and it made me all the more excited to do my scuba diving license.. it was just cool to be in perfectly clear water, checking out the coral and sea life, even if it was on quite a small level. We did 2 beach stops, had a big fish BBQ and also had the opportunity for 3 or so dive spots. It was only the dash from the boat across the beach before the bombardment of evil beach minions that managed to taint a really relaxed day.
