Cambodia/Kâmpóng Saôm Round the world trip 2007
12-16
Food here is not as spicy, but just as good if not better than in Thailand. A can of beer is $1US and lunch and dinner in the area of $2-$4US. We are eating at a small open air place just down from our room. So far we have been delighted with all three meals there. Coffee is drip into your cup: strong, hot and thick. I had two.
Today is a shady beach day: clear and hot; water warm and filled with Khmers on this Sunday. We are ensconced in beach bucket lounge chairs and are being hawked by beach vendors. We decided earlier that we would buy bracelets and were surrounded by a hoard of children. We ended up with twelve-year-old Jenna, her brother and mother all selling us stuff. I now have two bracelets; one with ART on it that Jenna made at our table. We learned from Jenna about her school and learning English. She wants to be a tour guide. She and Judee chattered while she wove my bracelet. Jenna was the consummate sales person for the family.
The mid-day heat gets oppressive. Judee is feeling sick. Riding should prove interesting. Distance on the map appears 100+ km between villages with possible overnight accommodations. Planning is next to impossible. So we will see!
