Left Cambodia.. on a boat!!! the boarder crossing muuuch easier!!! over pretty quick, arrived in chau doc at around 6pm so had no choice but to stay the night. Woke early to get a bus to Rach Gia, were we caught the fast boat to Phu Quoc Island.. stayed at Paris Beach resort which was RIGHT on the sandy beach!! we ate dinner at a table on the sand!! the staff were really attentive and sweet and the food was amazing!! Met more people to have a free drinks with- everywhere was very quiet! tourism is yet to hit Phu Quoc, there are building an international airport in 2012.. then it will all be over! We rented motorbikes the second day and had a good ride around the city- until Gerards bike had a flat tyre so had to take back.. off on road again in the middle of nowhere and mine doesn't start!! push down the road to mechanics who fix it- complete language barrier.. and if no mechanics we would have had to leave my bike and ride back to hostel with his.. but where the hell were we to tell the hostel?! haha brilliant. sad to leave the island.. been so relaxing and amazing cheap food and drink. felt for a first time like a holiday!
