I like swimming. I really do! During my weekend “away”, I got to go swimming in the sea. My favouritest thing. As mentioned, the water in Sihanoukville is shallow and calm – like a giant outdoor pool. It’s the most delicious thing swimming here (not counting the ice cold waters at Tamarama Beach on a hot summers day). But anyways, I swam out almost a few hundred meters along the shore. There’s something epic about swimming out there and being the only one out that far on the dead calm sea. To be able to just go on for ages because the salt water carries you forward and the soft tide gives you a gentle nudge. And to see a small boat out in the distance and be able to swim to it and see it bobbing in the waves up close, and awkwardly say hello to the guy on the boat as the swashing of the sea impairs your speech. Yes, something very special about it.
It’s something very solitary, very quietening, very reckoning. A good time for soul searching. And getting sun burnt.
