Khmer New Year - Koh Thonsay (aka Rabbit Island)

Next day we jumped on a boat to Koh Thonsay - locally known as Rabbit Island, as the shape of the island is supposed to be that of a rabbit.

There were about 10 boats all heading out that way, the boat ride is really exposed, so we covered up for the half hour ride out there.



Nearly there.


We landed, hopped off the boat and found some wooden sun loungers in the shade to lie on and read our books. The view was lovely and it was great to have some relax time in such a stunning spot.

I had a walk down the beach and a dip in the sea. I also checked out the VIP shacks - 2 beds and a bathroom for $15 a night. Pretty fancy considering!


We had a quick stop off for lunch, and I shared my fish with some of the local cats - all had strange tortoise-shell markings. Like half grey tabby and half tortie.


Soon it was time to head back, we had to wait some time in the boats for everyone and it was then I started to notice my legs were a little warm. I had stayed in the shade all day, so surely couldnt be that burned?!

Soon we were heading back to the main land...


...and not long later the sun was going down.


Soon enough it was clear I had burned - t took a week for the blisters to come out and they were the size of saucers! Second degree burns - so painful. I definitely need to go from being super careful to being super super careful!!

Ouch!


Keep out of the sun and definitely take a trip to Rabbit Island, its an amazing place!
