22/1: Bussing to Sihanoukville

We wanted to leave the big city of Phnom Penh as soon as possible, so we got up early & headed for the main bus companies around central market...an hour of biking across to different bus companies we settled on the main one (Sorya) who didn't charge a too hefty surcharge for the bike. Still a solid 2,5USD (halve of a normal ticket price to Sihanoukville from PP!) Anyway, we need our bikes, so pay up, its still just 2,5USD so not that bad. Bus ride itslf however is f***** horrible. We weren't feeling all that well today (especially Ardan feeling a bit sick for some strange reason) so this probably made it a bit worse than it really was. The bus doesn't seem to go forward at all, moving side to side the entire time & making stops anywhere & everywhere gets quite anoying at some point. All this complemented by some loud cambodian idiot picture on the telly..."yeah". Am I glad we usually just get places by bike instead of this kind of transport all the time...bullet through the brain, seriously.

In Sihanoukville we decided for the first night on Victory Beach which should be a bit less touristy than the others hoping for some relax ambiance...it is relax, but: 1) Old white guys & high heeled chicks everywhere (get the picture?) 2) Bars with lots of red/green neons (get the picture?) 3) No internet anywhere, something we actually really liked to have.

So after a couple of beers in a local bar, where Line got a free massage; Ardan was called "very handsome" numerous times & Line heard she shouldn't be jealous because she is beautifull & the waitress explainning us that when she likes something she just has to touch it (as she was touching us the entire time) we headed back to our basic bungalow for a good nights sleep.

Tomorrow? To the touristy bit. Hoping for internet, not just ladybars & a more upscale bungalow/room.
