Island life-back to basic, reunion with the girl squad 🌴

11 juni 2018 - Koh Ta Kiev, Cambodja

In the bus to Cambodia I am with 2 English boys, Greg and Josh. Apparently they already know me from Vietnam and I met them three times. Unfortunately they made no impression on me so for me the first meeting. From now on I will never forget these two good friends again. From this day on we are a team, three musketeers on the road!
Koh Ta Kiev

I have heard from random people about a back to basic island, without electricity, without wifi and no toilet or shower. The boys are in! So we take a boat to Koh ta Kiev treehouse bay called Ten103. Our little colored boat arrives in the jungle, with a few bamboo huts, some hippies, a bar and nothing else. Paradise!!!! Do you know the movie 'the Beach' with Leonardo Di Caprio? If not, look at it and it is reality for us.

I learn how to poop in a hole, showering with rainwater, I do not need a telephone and that's how I get into the best situations. We plan 2 nights here but stay 5. We help them to make a big raft. Search for rubbish on beaches so that we can make a hammock from rope floating in the water. We put styrofoam in a bag that we tie and then fasten like floating underneath. We recycle plastic bottles, of course we all get this from the beach. Old wood that has been washed up serves as the basis for sitting. We can do this all day long. We drink cocktails, discover the island in the wild jungle, sing, dance, see the most beautiful nature and in the evening we are playing card games with everyone or 'who am I' with a piece of paper on your head. We do this nicely with candles because we do not have electricity.
There is one other hostel on the other side of the island. We want to discover this with our musketeers team and another Aussie boy. Last Point is called it. The way there is already an adventure, we get lost and climb over high rocks. The way back is dark, we do not have a flashlight and nobody has a normal sense of direction or balance. So we end up lost in the jungle for 2.5 hours, already falling into the bushes. So something happens every night and it is never boring.

We decide to go to another island, Kohrong Samloem. A little paradise on earth with a white beach, clear water and no traffic. However, tourism is what makes it different. Maxime from Vietnam also comes along. Yea Dutchies reunion, so nice !!! The day after, our friend Charlie also comes from Vietnam. With the boys it also clicks well and we have such a good time. On the island we walk a bit with the dogs there, we go on a trip through the jungle to another beach, we mainly drink cocktails for 2 euros and we eat all day.

It is a hard life and we can not help it that we get so tired of it. 🙄

Eventually you just feel that you want to do something with your life, Maxime me and boys leave for Kampot. After 9 days island life the backpackerlife starts again! A little funky town where every day is something to do. Charlie arrives a day later and so we are together again. It makes us happy. Sometimes you just need real girlsquad❤️
Kampot goes on in the next blog. Love, Lau
