Lazy Beach Day

Koh Rong Sanloem is a tropical island, which means it receives plenty of rain and last night we had a lot of it. When we woke it was still raining, but very warm. The local fisherman were trying to empty their boats of water where it had rained so much. A jog along the beach seemed like a good way spend a little time while it was still raining. 

As the rain cleared we were recommended to visit Lazy Beach on the other side of the island. This is a walk across the island to a secluded beach which is rated as one of the top 21 most beautiful beaches in world by National Geographic. No idea how they measure this or how true it is, but it was good motivation to walk over. Our walk took use over the island through the tropical forest, walking through the streams of water created by the overnight storm.

Lazy beach is stunning. There are a few huts built into the tree line behind the beach where backpackers can stay. This is where it is appropriate to refer to the guests as backpackers as you need to walk the forest trail to reach Lazy Beach. There is a wooden restaurant, which sold a wonderful curry, but apart from this it is fairly untouched. Still lots of plastics washed up the beach, which highlights the problems our seas and oceans face.

Good night Koh Rong Sanloem.
