Pchum Ben Holiday at Shianoukville

On October 10 school was closed for a 5 day weekend because of Pchum Ben. This is a Buddhist festival to commemorate the spirits of deceased ancestors. We took the opportunity to visit a beach resort in Cambodia. The resort is called Sokha Beach and it is a peacefull place to escape to. It took us a little over 3 hours to get there by taxi, which cost us 35 US dollars...
S and E love the sand and sea. J bought the girls these swimsuits a week before when he was visiting Singapore for an IB conference. The sun is very strong here all the time, so the suits help protect their skin...
Going for a sea kajak ride. The ocean is very warm--quite a contrast with last year's North Sea.
Loving life in the water. E can do this all day.Happy girls!
