Day 59, Sihanovkuille

Lazy day, rain in the morning – the continueation of previous night’s thunderstorm, which luckily stayed off the coast somewhere at the horizon.

Since heavy rain at first, I went for a dip in the sea, breakie after that and bed again soon after. Have a nice few of the beach and the sea when I leave my door open – it’s only 5m 😉

When the rain turned into a drizzle I moved towards the communal area and watched the dogs in action 😉

By this time it was lunch already and we decided to go to Otres beach proper – 2km up the road towards Sihanovkuille, but still way out of town so quiet this time of year.
Also had some bangles made to pass time and support local school kids 😉

Planned on some jungle excursion after that, but my bike didn’t want to start. Push start OK, but can’t really do that in a river or rice field. Phoned the bike rental in phnom penh and they promised to send someone with a new battery from Sihanovkuille. They would only arrive at 18:00, so decided to spend the afternoon watching the waves while lutz went off with another german guy on an offroad bike also.

Took a photo of old battery as a compromise – originally the rental place wanted me to bring back the old one to PP for prove that it had been changed.

We had grilled baracuda for dinner, we asked our landlady if she could get it for us while in town. Dinner was great – last baracuda I had was in mocambique in 1989. Memorable fish 😉
