Day 16: Fri 23 Nov - Sihanouk Ville rest day

Day 14: Sihanouk Ville – Free Day Breakfast at the hotel. Free day to relax at the beach and explore the town on your own. (B) 

The bikes were locked away this day so no chance of a ride.   I suspect my roommate may have passed on his head cold to me as I had a sore throat when I woke up this morning and was unsettled during the night. However I can’t complain as compared to just about everyone else, who've had all sorts of tummy bugs etc, I've done very well up to now with no health dramas at all.  

After breaky I met up with a small group and went wandering around the shops.  It is certainly not the shopping Mecca of the East, but we managed to find a French coffee shop.  When you don’t get good coffee for sometime even half decent coffee is a bonus.  A covered market about 40 minutes walk away was worth a look. 

Skipped lunch and just went back to the room to do some reading and writing.  

Met up with most of the group for sundown drinks on the beach, but a storm ended up cutting that short and we went to dinner at the same Italian Restaurant.  It was just as slow as the previous night but we weren’t in a hurry.  Despite the waiting I really enjoyed the salmon steak and veggies. Kev was still not well so he skipped dinner and had an early night.   A lot of the group ended up with the same head cold.  I wondered if we had all caught it from some dodgy air-conditioning.

This tour was a lot of fun, in fact it was fantastic.   It was great to have the other Aussies along, especially the ones I knew already.   ...
