Day 12/13/14 - Cambodia to Vietnam

I am starting to think I should write my own version of the lonely island song "i'm on a boat" as "i'm on a coach". Can you guess where I am right now?
After two days of pretending we went on a normal relaxing beach holiday we are back on a stuffy coach, in the blistering heat, heading to the Vietnam border.

The last few days have been amazing though. The first night out was fantastic, filled with barbeque food on the beach, lots of very cheap drinks, being thrown in the sea fully dressed, ripping it up in the night club, a little bit of pole dancing, burgers on the walk home, and finishing the night in the hotel pool. The next morning consisted of... realising it doesn't matter how cheap the drinks are if you buy too many, trying to wash sea water out of your clothes, doing damage control with photos, disinfecting the cut obtained swinging round a wet sand covered pole, and hoping security don't recognise the people they kicked out of the pool last night. That said, the day quickly improved. We took a boat ride out to the bamboo islands for a bit of snorkelling and a sublime beach with few people, no rubbish, and perfectly clear water :-) We couldn't have asked for better. Its just a shame my pale english skin likes to go tomato red before I can put the sun cream on, i'm in a little bit of pain - also that cut on my foot isn't helping.

The evening then obviously meant more good barbeque food and more drinking. We went easy this time though. At least, some of us did *cough* linda *cough*. For now though I am saying goodbye to Cambodia and hellooooo Vietnam :-)
