Fresh mango on the hotel patio, local tea and a little further exploration of the Sihanouk Ville beaches . We researched our exit strategy and a boat ride was the best option. After several failed attempts to find a place where the local (non-tourist) boats went from and lots of wasted time, we eventually found the correct port (almost mid-day). The $500 US dollar price that we had been quoted for a tourist boat was eclipsed somewhat by the reduced sum of $22 (but that still 14 times more expensive that locals pay for a 4 hour trip across the Gulf of Thailand!!
We provisionally booked for a next day, then returned to the white sand beaches to relax again eating seafood, veggie paradise tofu bbq and drinking cheaply on the beach front restaurants for several hours. The bill came to $ US 7.5, we left $ 10. Shocking! You can easily understand westerners coming here to splurge their money away. It goes so much further than anywhere else with perfect weather and pristine beaches . On the way back home our speedo counter mysteriously disappeared and we don’t know if we lost it or it got nicked (perhaps the cheap draft beer was a little too appetizing. Before crashing out at our town centre hotel, Tadek nipped into the barber’s opposite for a quick trim costing just over a dollar. Him being slightly worse for wear, Teresa issued strict instructions to the local old hairdresser to avert a disaster.
