Sihanoukville and Koh Rong:
On the 19th September the 2 of us along with Owen and Ross arrived in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, after several buses, a border control and a long wait in Phnom Penh. The 4 of us checked into monkey republic, had dinner (Ellie had rice pudding) with a tequila for desert and headed out. There is a strip of bars along the beach and we got either a free shot or a free drink in each of them, which got us all sufficiently drunk! In one of the bars (Dolphin shack) there were some Cambodian women who were balancing full cups of alcohol on their heads and slut dropping, which we were all fascinated by and all poorly attempted. In the main bar at the end of the strip, they were doing buckets of whiskey for a dollar which is extremely cheap. We all raved there until Lisa and Ellie realised they were too disgustingly drunk to stay out any longer and headed back to go to bed and pass out!
We woke up on the 20th and had to check out. Everyone had terrible whiskey hangovers and so we went to the lush Otres beach which many of our friends had been raving to us about to cure our hangovers. Our friends weren't lying, the beach was beautiful and we had a mini photo shoot as standard and a nice sunbathe. Afterwards we met up with Jenna and coops again back at Sihanoukville pier ready to get a speed boat across to the beautiful island that is Koh Rong. We all got our own bungalow on the beach. Koh Rong was truly paradise. We all had dinner together and then went out for one of the wildest nights we'd ever had in Asia. We had buckets at a bar made from half cut big sprite and water bottles and the owner let us pour as much whiskey in as we wanted for $3! The clubs shut at 2 am when the power goes out, but the guys who ran the bar we were at kept it open for us, using power from a generator and we all raved through the night until about 5am, occasionally running out into the beach loving life and loving each other!
We wasted most of the second day on the island dying all day and sleeping. We woke up in the late noon fresh and ready for round 2. The second night on Koh Rong was probably even messier than the first night. This time they had run out of bottles and so we collected our own to make our own buckets again. We were all sideways and we all made it out until 6:30 am and watched the sun rise over the sea, with spectacular purpleq, pink and red colours. It was beautiful.
On the 22nd we woke up hungover again... Shock. We all chilled on the amazing beach and then very depressingly had to get the boat back from Koh Rong to Sihanoukville. Ross decided the only way to get over his hangover was to get absolutely smashed again. He was hilarious, constantly coming back to the pier with more vodka red bulls and hash cookies.
Back in Sihanoukville we had our last night with Jenna and Coops and the 6 of us still drunk and mad from the night before decided to go out in singlets/vests and snap backs. Ross just about made it out but fell asleep a the first bar and had to go home! We had another wild night going from club to club. In one club we went up to the bar to claim our drink but the girl behind the bar was so off her head she kept spilling over Ellie's drink every time she was about to give it to her and then started pouring her weird drinks like milk and ice cubes and Ellie kept saying please can I have my free drink. Then she was like right okay and gave Ellie a can of tonic water and then stamped Lisa and Ellie to say they had they're free drinks. She didn't have a clue what was going on and then after asking her again she made a glass of jäger whiskey and vodka and brought it over, but then knocked that over too. In the end we got really angry and were like please give us the normal drink, then she went right okay and stole a whiskey coke that another bar man had made. Owen had a nice chat with a ladyboy but we soon steered him away. After all the chaos we headed to the end bar and danced the night away to disclosure songs. At 4 am Jenna and coops had to get a bus to Phnom Pen. Lisa, Ellie, Owen and Ross stayed until the next day, we spent the day sunbathing hungover and doing a little shopping before getting another over night bus, this time to Siem Reap.
