Wandering Island on Sunset Beach in Sanloem, Cambodia.

Wandering Island on Sunset Beach in Sanloem, Cambodia.

March 2023 · 3 min read · Khaet Preah Sihanouk

Today is a day to get the lay of the lands on the island that will be home for a few weeks. The time here already has been a delight. From the busy day of taking boats and charters to finding a long boat to bring us to the island where the sunset falls from the sky. 

We start off the day in the main building for some nourishment.

This little dog seems to like hanging around our table. Don't worry we are not messy eater little doggy.

He looks ready to go and wader the beach. I know I am ready to get to the water and then go for a walk along the island.

The pooch runs to the beach ahead of us. Taking in the sights and sounds we hang around for a bit on the beach.

The jetty that is no longer able to hold to the land. This was destroyed in a storm. 

We wander the beach and decide to head inland and across the island to see what else there is to explore. 

Here is a walking map. Just remember, if you get lost, keep walking till you find the ocean.

We come across another rickety bridge that is no trouble to cross. I wonder if the same storm destroyed this bridge as well as the jetty on on the ocean?

Not to fear, we make it across.

As we walk we catch up with the couple that hired the boat with us coming across. They are staying at the more populated area of the island. I am glad we are on the quiet side of the beach.

He takes us to have a look at the place they are staying.

Neat little hut.

As we stood by the door talking we all got distracted and moved on to some lunch stop restaurant that was close enough to get to. I did not even see inside the hut. Nor did I take any pictures of the hut as the distracting conversations were just what I needed today.

This must be the place to sit down to.

After long conversation and some food, we part ways from the new friends and head down the beach for another walk. I take pictures as we go.

Tranquility is broken by the motorbike coming across the beach....vroom.

Such a joy to see people who smile with their hearts and soul.

We wander and walk and make our way back to the other side as the sun moves over to the sunset side. We spend the rest of the day hanging and reading swimming and relaxing till the late night evening.

That is al for the day, more to come tomorrow. Thanks for having a look at the island and the walkabout.
