Travel - Sun, Sea, Seafood and Sihanoukville

Bangkok trip reminded me of Cambodia and I have decided to blog about Cambodia in more details. Well, after so many years right. I shall start with my favourite.
Sihanoukville, also known as Kampong Som is located 185 kilometres southwest of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. It is about a 3 hours drive.

I have been to Sihanoukville twice, once in 2005 and another time in 2008. Both occasions I did the same thing - EAT SEAFOOD!!!

When we were approaching the town of Kampong Som, we stopped by a stretch of stalls selling fresh seafood! Take your pick on the crabs and prawns and not forgetting the super duper good sweet chilli sauce. After choosing the seafood, they will steam it on the spot!

We will then continue our journey to the beachfront! Back then, it was still not a touristy place, I am not too sure about now though. We chose a table and sat down, ready to feast on the seafood while enjoying the sea breeze. =) One of my best experience in Cambodia.

After food, we just stroll along the seaside while the kids play.

Then have some yummy mangoes as dessert. Life can so good.

We just spend the whole afternoon there till sunset. There, we watched the sunset. Simplicity is such a bliss. Even until now I can still remember the freshness of seafood, the sweetness of the mangoes, the warmth of the sea breeze and the beauty of the sunset. It will be etched in my memory. =)

Purposeful Traveller - Will I ever see you again?
