Rabbit Island

News flash: THERE ARE NO RABBITS ON RABBIT ISLAND. I REPEAT: THERE ARE NO RABBITS ON RABBIT ISLAND.

Instead, there are many other animals, including cats, dogs, chickens (!! from jordan), cows (!! from Raina), and some fatty goats.

The beach wasn't as pristine as we had imagined, it was kind of like a Californian beach with dirt instead of sand. It was surprisingly cold so we didn't even go in, although others did. We wanted to keep our towels dry so we could use them as blankets, because there was only one bed and one blanket for four of us!
We slept in small simple bungalows for $5 a night per bungalow. sweet.
There were three restaurants on the island, one of which had a wooden painted sign that said, Pancakes. They were yummy, but they were more like crepes than pancakes. Good with Nutella. They got a lot of our business because most of the other food being served was seafood which we aren't all that into.
Jordan spent most of her time laying around in the many hammocks and trying to make friends with the many chickens (there were babies too!!). Though the roosters in the middle of the night weren't any fun.
Raina spent most of her time laying around in the many hammocks and trying to make friends with the many cows (there were calves too!!). THough the cow grazing right behind the hut at night was kind of surprising.
Raina couldn't go to sleep right away because there was so much going on around her, so she went out to the end of the pier and laid there for a bit, until the water started to rise and she decided she should go back before the end near the sand was under water. When she went to the bathroom there were five cows grazing right there! Then she slept in a hammock for a bit until in got too cold. On the way to dinner at the pancake place she ran into a bunch of cows, one of which let her pet it!! She got pictures with the cow.
We broke open a coconut with an axe and drank the milk and ate the coconut. It was the best one yet. The whole island was covered in coconut trees, the coconuts were lying on the ground all over the island.
Raina met a French couple at one of the restaurants, but Spanish kept popping into her head. But it's okay because they spoke a bit of Spanish too. And they spoke English.
She also played bocci ball earlier today with a young girl from New Zealand and her mom.
No rabbits though. One friend, Kristen, said that maybe the island is shaped like a rabbit and that is why it is called that.
We are now back in Phnom Penh.
We will write you all later,
Raina and Jordan
