Okay so the past few days haven't exactly been the best, first we got
on the night bus which I thought would be okay as I have done bigger
jouneys to Rimini and Salou. However unfortunately I was wrong, the bus
driver drove so fast down these dark roads which were soo bumpy. I
don't think I slept for longer that 30 min in the 10 hour journey.
When we got of the bus it wasn't as bad as when we got of in seim
reap. We got In a taxi to take us to green gecko hostel and the
driver drove for a while but then could not remember where the hostel
was! Because of this we then got him to take us to monkey republic
the other hostel recommended in Lonely Planet. Unfortunately that was
full so we had to go across the road to beach road hostel which was
across the road. After they gave our 3 person dorm to sombody else we
then got two double rooms lyns in one and Laura and me in the other.
The hostel is very nice with a huge pool and bar air con and satellite
tv ( not to shabby for $5 a night) however . . . . . . . In the
afternoon after we had been to sleep and for lunch in Utopia we came
to the room to watch a film as it was raining. The rain got so bad
that it ended up flowing into our room. Laura and I busily put towels
in front of our door to stop the flow of water coming in, after a
while the rain died down and the flow stopped so we went for dinner.
While at dinner the rain got far heavier we got a little worried when
water flowed into the hostel bar, laura and I decided it would be a
good idea to do check out room, as we walked to the room the floor
below was flooded over our ankles. When we got to the room we found it
in a couple of inches of water we frantically tried to get the water
out and away from our stuff. In the end we had to move rooms to a 3
person room.
