As it had already been more than a week since we left our riverside holiday in Si Pha Don, we decided it was time for another vacation. So from Phnom Penh we headed straight to Sihanoukville and from there to the beautiful island of Koh Rong. We settled in on Coconut beach for four nights and were very excited to find it was more or less like a small paradise on earth. Stunning turquoise waters, beach with sand as white as snow on a beautiful, green island. Imagine seawater more than 30 degrees warm! And it was just so nice to see the sea again.
Here we didn't do much else than swim, snorkel, read in a hammock and swim and snorkel some more. We also enjoyed watching these peculiar small, flying lizards we had only seen on TV before. Even though they were only some 15 cm long, they could glide at least 5-10 m in the air from tree to tree!
We slept in a tent right next to the sea, so we could here the waves all through the night. But the best part was the view from our tent:
Since the beach was looking east, we could also see some nice sunrises from there.
Twice we had a campfire on the beach in the evening.
And during our last evening we walked into the sea to see glowing plankton that looked like underwater stars. We also got the chance to send up some traditional paper lanterns into the sky. That was really nice!
