We've made it down to Sihanoukville on the Cambodian coast where we'll be till the end of the week. It should be a welcome change of pace from the physically, mentally and emotionally draining experience of Phnom Penh. We're staying in a cozy little place right across from the beach. We were hoping to stay right on the beach, but the only places directly on the beaches are bars. Oh well, what are you going to do.
So far the biggest downside here has been the rain. It's rainy season, so we were expecting it, but we hadn't seen any real rain till we got down here. It was absolutely pouring when the bus pulled in, which made the whole process of getting our bags and finding a car taxi interesting (their was no "inside" at the bus station). Somehow we were able to cram all six of us and all of our baggage into an early '90s Toyota Camry -- an amzing feat of packing by our driver.
The rain let up long enoungh for us to go for a walk on the beach and find a little beach bar to grab dinner and drinks, but as soon as we got back to our rooms it picked up again and rained all night. There were a couple times during the night where it seemed like we might float away.
It's not raining now, so that means it's time to hit the beach. At some point, either tomorrow or the next day, weé going to try to take a day trip into the Ream National Park to look for fishing cats.
Enjoy.

I know what catfish are. But fishing cats?

This is a fishing cat. Unfortunately, we didn't see any on our excursion.
