Cambodia.

I've swapped Australia's dry heat to rain season in Cambodia. It's amazing! Eventually something new and exciting!

We started of in Phnom Penh, the capital, and stayed there for four nights. The guest house was alright, the room wasn't a dream but the roof top bar was a big plus. We tried to do the "must do" touristy stuff but we only managed the royal palace, the national museum and the killing fields. The royal palace was a bit of a disappointment, the fee was 6$ each and we could basically just see the yard. The museum was alright, but because of Cambodia's vicious past they only have a couple of broken statues. Of course the killing fields weren't fun but I think it's something that one should see if one goes to Cambodia.

After Phnom Penh we went to Sihanoukville, a city on the coast. It's an alright town but it's rather full of tourists. We met a nice German girl with who we went to Koh Rong, a paradise island two hours from Sihanoukville.

Since it's rain period it was raining cats and dogs all the time, but we still had a good time, met nice people and ate tasty food. The first night we met a Pommey who told us about fluorescent algae so we went for a night swim. The water around us was shining with green light as soon as someone moved. We tried to take some pictures but no, you have to experience things like that.

Now we're back in Sihanoukville, we will be stuck here for a few days for various reasons. After that we'll go back to Phnom Penh, Bernie is so keen on shooting with an AK47. I'll tell you more about that when we've actually done it!

The connection is to bad for uploading pictures, sorry about that.

When the next wave broke the wall that Bernie had built we started digging a ditch behind it, but we soon figured that wouldn't be enough. The cliffs that we walked through to get there where already under water and we could no longer escape the rising tide. We moved our tents to the highest spot on the beach and started building a high dam. Behind that dam we dough a deep drench and sat down to enjoy the remains of our chocolate.

Don't for a minute think that this was the end of our night. We had barely finished when we had to redo the wall and clean out the drench. My cloths where dripping of water from the knee high waves and my feet where aching against the cold sand. We dug for hours with only short brakes to catch our breaths. Around midnight we gave up and sat down. We where too tired to care if our tents got flooded and float to sea. From that moment not a single wave broke the wall and the tide went out.

It was a warm and sunny summer day and we had bought ocean trout for dinner. Bernie, Adam and I had been driving for most of the day and we decided to stop at a rest area next to the beach. We walked around and found a nice little spot to camp, on a small part of the beach that was shielded of from the rest by big rocks and cliffs. We ate our dinner and had a few drinks until the beautiful sundown forced us to build up a camp.

It took us quit an effort to get all our gear over those big rocks and cliffs but when we finally managed it was perfect. The moonlight was so bright it could have been daylight and we sat on the sand drinking hot chocolate, listening to the waves.

Around seven the waves started to come a bit too close and Bernie put up a small wall of sand around the tents. We where soon to realize that our perfect spot was about to get flooded.

There has been so much going on for the last few months, and I have so much to tell you! Right now I'm living in an ag-grow site in a tent that I share with Bernie since three months. I've become a real camper! I've survived flooding and rain periods with Irishmen and I've been standing on a jetty in the rain forest seeing the sun go down over the ocean. But all of that you'll read more about another day because now I'm going to bed, it's been a long day. I'm alive and kicking and that my friends is all that you need to know.

God morgon! Jag vet, dalig update, men den puckade tjejen i receptionen har givit ut losenordet till internet till alla sa nu fungerar inte den tradlosa anslutningen.

Jag har varit sjuk ett bra tag igen. Forst trodde jag att det var den vantade Bali Bellyn men det blev bara varre nar jag kom tillbaka till Oz. Sa jag tillbringade onsdagsnatten pa Perth Royal Hospital med Chrisy, hon var en angel. Jag kande mig sa liten och ensam dar jag lag i en alldeles for stor sjukdress och med massa slangar inkorda i armvacken. Tur att jag har sanna fina vanner! Willey kom och hamtade oss klockan fyra pa morgonen, haha stackaren.

Men nu mar jag battre, sa i gar var vi pa middag hos Indrek och Helene, mycket trevligt! De andra gick ut efter middagen men eftersom jag fortfarande ar hangig och har svart att ata. Alan hamtade upp mig i stan och vi sag Manu-N'castle, mycket bra match. Det ar sa skont att sova over hos Alan, Gordon och Noel, det ar sa tyst och jag slipper den knappa tysken som sover i sangen mitt emot min i hostlet. Han sover aldrig, han sitter i sin sang och spelar spel pa sin mobil och lagger konstiga och missanpassade kommentarer.

Jag har verkligen saknat att blogga, hoppas pa att jag har battre uppkoppling vart jag an hamnar nar jag ar klar i Perth.

Jag ar sa sjukt uttrakad i dag.. Inte ens shopping hjalpte. Jag tror att problemet ligger i att vi gor samma saker hela tiden. Nu sitter allta andra pa innergarden och dricker, med forklaringen att det ar helg. Det ar helg varje vecka och de dricker i veckorna ocksa, vi gar alltid ut och jag behover lite omvaxling. Alla tycker att jag ar lite konstig men jag ar en aktiv manniska som behover stimuleras. Just nu skulle jag vilja ga och se en teater eller en balett, nagot sofistikerat och trevligt, inte sitta i morkret och regnet och dricka billigt vin.. Jag blir inte ens glad av att shoppa langre, det gor jag ocksa for ofta. Trodde aldrig att jag skulle trottna pa det!

I gar var vi pa the court, en gaybar som vi varit pa fredag och lordag de senaste tre eller fyra helgerna. Inte ens nar det galler utgang har manniskorna har lite variation! Jag foreslog att vi skulle ga och spela biljard i kvall, men tydligen ar det omojligt att fa biljardbord pa lordagar.. Scott och Adam ska ga till Jamies, dar kommer det som vanligt sitta atta killar och titta pa sport hela kvallen.. GAAH!

Men lite bra saker har det hant i dag, jag kopte nya underklader och vi hade en trevlig dag i Harbour Town. The coffee club dar har gott kaffe och goda smorgasar sa det var ocksa bra. Jag borjar nog mest fa lite angest eftersom jag inte jobbar, jag blir alltid rastlos och lite irriterad nar jag inte har nagot att gora pa dagarna. Som tur ar jobbar jag pa mandag och pa tisdag bar det av till Bali.

Chrisy stalkar den taniga bartendern, i gar fick vi antligen en bild med honom sa nu kan hon kanske slappa det.

Sa har deprimerande ar vadret i dag. Usch...
