Day 114 – Koh Rong.

Seeing as we missed our boat yesterday we got the first fast boat of the day, which was at 8am. We arrived in Koh Rong about 9am but had nowhere to stay. There was a welcome talk at Cocos so we listened to that and looked at their breakfast menu at the same time. We crashed upstairs whilst a couple of people went out to find somewhere for the 8 of us to stay. There was room in Bunna Place a few doors down. We all had double rooms and although this island is beautiful it does mean that there isn’t a lot of running water and electricity is only on for a few hours a day. The bed was comfy so I was happy!

We went straight to the beach and into the water, which was needed, April is the hottest month here and it was bloody boiling! Stayed in there for a lot of the day, came out around lunchtime for a milkshake in Monkey Island, then went back in again until late afternoon. We also met two guys from Porsmouth, small world! Obviously we couldn’t shower, so we just dried off and changed for dinner. We were going to go to the old village for dinner but we didn’t make it that far before settling down at cocos. Our stranded bus crew came together for the evening playing games and chilling on the beach. Survived the evening without getting bitten, yay!
