On the move

It's Wed 9th Feb and we are finally leaving Phu Quoc today.
It was hard to get a flight any sooner and I really didn't want to travel back to Saigon by boat and bus as it would have been 9 hours and we have a lot of  miles to cover, hundreds in fact over the next couple of weeks.
It's been a lovely chilled time here, the resort was lovely, right on the beach, the bill for 9 nights and all our food and drinks (including alcohol) came to less than 100pds each, and only another 80pds for the 2 internal flights, great eh?
So, if you are wondering how I am managing to stay out here so long that is why, it doesn't cost much to be here.
A bottle of beer is 36p and average price of a meal is 1.50, last night we splashed out and had barbequed chicken and aubergine, mixed salad,  jacket potato, 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine and spent just over 6pds between us, daylight robbery!
We are having a few hours on the beach today before heading back to Saigon, we will spend a night there and then have a 4 hour bus trip booked at 8am tomorrow morning on the first leg of our journey up the east coast.
So, soon there will be another lot of photos...
