Day 170. Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Gunter Strummer.

No public transport whatsoever to Sihanoukville so we share a cab with the Irish. This gives us an opportunity to introduce Colm and Nicole to the delights of Scrabble. They're quick learners but appalling spellers - Nicole struggling with 'DOOR' at one stage.

We find it cheap digs on Serendipity Beach and settle down in the afternoon to some serious loafing.

Entertained in the evening by a crazy German playing showtunes on his acoustic guitar. After each song he shares some banter with the crowd, letting us in on the stories behind the tunes.

Being a geek, I find this kind of thing interesting; did you know, for example, that the song used in The Thomas Crown Affair when Steve McQueen is showing off in his glider was originally called 'Windmills of my heart' and Michel Legrand only changed it to 'Windmills of my mind' after the director decided it didn't scan.

Fascinating eh?

For me, yes. For Wend, Colm and Nicole, not in the slightest. So we neck our beers and leave.
