Well the past few days have been uncomfortable for both Deb and I...even though we are in a beautiful beachside bungalow in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Deb ate or drank something that is haunting her for the past 24 hours and I am recovering from a small spill on a motorcycle. Nothing serious.
There are motorcycle taxi's here...and we were taking one with our backpacks to the bungalows where we are staying now. There is a steep road up a hill...and the road is pretty much mud, rocks and tree roots. My driver was approaching too quickly and started driving up the hill in too high a gear and stalled. Well little did I know that he didn't have brakes. So we started sliding backwards down the hill until we tumbled over. I flew off the back landing on my elbow, smacking my head on who knows what and scraping my back and inside of my knee. It could have been worse. Nothing was broken...I have some nasty scrapes and some bruises and my elbow swoll up nice and big. But it is moving ok...but the salt water sure stings it. I will post a picture so you can all feel sorry for me the next time we come to do internet.
So we have been lying pretty low. Just lounging on the chairs by the beach, eating, reading our books, etc. Cambodia is different than I expected. Not as rough or hard to travel as were were imagining. Lots of good restaurants, nice places to stay, etc.
But it is more expensive than we thought it would be...seems strange when Deb and I can't eat lunch for under $5 with a beer. It sounds funny to complain about a beer being $1.50. Ha...we will go into shock when we get back to Canada.
