Time for a change of scenery, this time we opted for an un-developed Island very close to the coast of Cambodia but actually belonging to Vietnam; Phu Quoc is relatively new to tourism and is renowned for it's bad roads.

Loved your blog
Hi there, my husband and myself are heading to Phu Quoc Island in a few weeks time for a quick holiday. Our local baker (vietnamese) here in Brisbane, Australia has been telling me for ages how we should go to this island. We have been to North Vietnam before and loved it so decided to do the south and take in the island. It was so helpful reading your blog so now we know what to expect. We are both not as young as you but still love to travel and experience different cultures. Thank you so much for a very informative description of the island and the pictures were great. Not sure about those planes though but guess we don't have a choice. We are taking an overnight cruise on the Mekong and ending up in Can Tho where we will fly from to the Island and then will have to fly back to Saigon. Oh, well just add another adventure to our holiday. Regards, Carol.

Phu Quoc and South Viet
Glad you enjoyed the Blog and found it useful. You'll have a fantastic time in the south, the Mekong is very interesting - you'll find a Blog about our travels there if you care to navigate your way back a few years. Enjoy :-)
