We spent our last two days in Vietnam hanging out on the up-and-coming beach island of Phu Quoc. Supposedly this is going to be the Phuket of Vietnam... they have a long way to go. To start, right now most of the island only has a dirt road (that varies between being one and two lanes). On our first day, we did pretty much nothing but lounge by the pool and catch up on some reading. The poolside food at our place was quite good (spicy squid salad), so we decided to stay in for dinner and try the restaurant. Big mistake... dinner was really quite bland. Here's a picture from the beach of our hotel at sunset, though - pretty nice, eh?
For Day 2, we joined a snorkeling tour and explored the coral around the archipelago just south of Phu Quoc. The coral was decent and there were lots of fish out. After a couple of snorkeling runs, we had lunch on the boat and then did some old school fishing (just a reel with bait and a weight... no rod). We had a really great seafood dinner that night (not our catch, though) at a hotel just up the street from ours.
