Phu Quoc island
This is my last post from Vietnam. And boy, has it been fun blogging about this place. We've just finished 3 days of pure chillaxing in Phu Quoc, which was most welcome. I must admit the island does seem a little over-rated comparing it to the reviews we've heard. I mean, don't get me wrong, the beach was 1 minute from our hotel and the weather was hot and sunny but it didn't quite hit the 'paradise' level for me. None-the-less, watching the red glowing sun set, eating delicious fresh seafood and lazing around the crystal-clear waters will not be forgotten.
Dad mentioned today that we've had a city-break in Hanoi, a shopping frenzy in Hoi An, an adventure trip through the Mekong and a chill-out in Phu Quoc - All in all, I'd say it doesn't get better than that. I wish we could have visited Sapa for trekking, but we'll save that for another trip maybe..
My Mum and Dad are leaving Vietnam tomorrow from Hanoi so we parted from them this morning (as we are back in Saigon for the night). It was an absolute laugh having them here and Ketan and I were grateful for their company as well as their generousity when it came to meals and taxi's ;-)
We take a 6 hour overland bus to Cambodia tomorrow. Time is going fast. But it's fun when things are constantly going on and there is culture surrounding us, so you won't hear a complaint from me :)
