There should be more to offer here in this beach resort, Sihanouk Ville but I did not really explore, reaching at about 6pm and leaving the nxt morning..
Checked out at 9am after breakfast, I set off to boarder town Koh Kong.. There is always some pressure crossing boarder with a vehicle, especially when I'm without a 'carnet'.. and local vehicle insurance.
the port..
waters are quite clear, though the beaches are not that impressive.. maybe there are some nicer beaches which I did not visit..
Op for a Casino hotel.. hopefully the 'rollers' will subsidise my room.. haha. True enough, only usd25/.. a nice big room with breakfast.
My GPS first took me to Independence Hotel.. USD170/..?? oh, no thnks.I
took about 2 hours form Kep.. reaching at 6pm+

Glad to see some hills.. after my 7 days around the center of Cambodia which is rather flat..
Fill up at a small local gas station, I proceed to Sihanouk ville. My engine starts to 'knock' for the second time in Cambodia. This old thumper, with a very low compression ratio of 8.3:1 should be able to tolerate very low octane gas. I have been using 91 and above and that should be a luxurious 'cocktail' to this engine.. I am sure the gas I earlier top-up is adulterated. After pumping back at Esso, the engine breath well again.. So, try to use reputed or major stations like Esso and Total which is available here..
