The next five days and nights were busily spent doing very little. It was great. It's properly into monsoon season now so we don't really get through many days without some rain. It's pretty crazy though, it can go from blue skies to torrential rain and back to blue skies within about 20 minutes, and since it's always hot it's not really an issue.
Initially we stayed at a place in town which was nice, and pretty cheap. We had been told there were better beaches out of town though, so we checked out one of them, Otres Beach, and it was indeed nicer. The main beach where we were you are constantly hassled by loads of people trying to sell you things you don't want or need. The kids are pretty cute, and cheeky, so fun to have a chat with, but it's gets a little annoying at times. We moved on to Otres Beach for the last couple of nights which was amazing but a bit more expensive. We stayed at a really cool place called Mushroom Point where all the bungalows were built like mushrooms - it looked like Smurf Village. On our last night there we saw probably the most amazing sunset I've ever seen in my life. It was mindblowing. We went a bit overboard on the photos, but I think it was at least partially justified!
Next we were off to the capital, Phnom Penh, before heading to Vietnam! We're about at the halfway point in our journey now too - doesn't feel like we've been here for 8 weeks at all.

Here is a quality tune from three great musical minds - Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke. Really excited to see what else these guys come up with (I've heard an album is in the pipeline).
