Phu Quoc Island

The trip over was so easy, 20 min taxi to airport, we had bags checked in 15 min, waited 30 mins until boarding and a 40 min flight, got our luggage straight away and straight through to a taxi to our hotel which was less than 2km down the road.
We had pre booked a bungalow just off the beach, it had good reviews on trip advisor and it's great, the most expensive room we have had so far, $35 between us.
It's funny that when you start getting used to the local prices how 23 pounds for a room seems expensive and 3 pounds for a main meal is daylight robbery over here.
So, in little over 2 hours from start to finish we had left Saigon and were in Phu Quoc in our bathing suits in the sea, and within half an hour I had a pina colada firmly in my hand for the sunset, which is fab as it's directly in front of our stretch of beach

We went for a walk 8am this morning along the beach, this place is very close by, I liked that they have used the coconut trees as a poles for the shades,

The first evening sunset

Last night we walked bare foot along the sandy beach and had fresh red snapper cooked on the bbq which was lovely, we had a table on the beach and watched the night boats fishing for sqiud.

Later we walked to a small bar and played pool which was fun, I haven't played for years but won 1 out of 3.

Today we have lounged on the sun loungers about and swam when it has got too hot.

There are ladies doing  1 hour massages on the beach for 1.80. pedicure and manicure for 1.50 and other ladies coming along with chilled fresh fruit, it's a hard life.

It's their new years eve tomorrow so we are joking that we will have been together over 2 decades, (well we would have celebrated 2)
That's about it for today, would be nice to have some comments to know you are all still there. x
