Journey to PP & a letter from our scouse stalkers!

As Song had deserted us, Matra kindly arranged us transport to the bus station for our coach to Phnom Penh. We said goodbye to her and her brother and tuk-tuk'd away.
Our favourite pair of lovely Liverbirds popped up for the third time in the bunks below us on the coach! They wrote us this letter:

They're down in Sihanoukville now enjoying some beach and sunshine, hope they have a fantastic time!

The bus journey was simple enough, it was a sleeper coach with free wifi which made it especially comfortable. We arrived at the Laughing Fatman guesthouse at around 1am, and after a bit of confusion which involved us swapping our twin room for a dorm for the first night (free beers were given to compensate), we dropped our heavy bags and headed down to the hostel bar. There we met Ahren, a Canadian guy who teaches English in South Korea. After getting to know him a bit, we went to the shop and bought some of his favourite booze; Sogu, which is apparently the best selling drink in the world. It is drunk in shots and tastes a little like vodka, but in a good way. Will try and get my hands on some when home.

Anyway a few of those was more than enough to finish us off so we staggered up to the dorm and fell asleep.
