Phú Quốc Island

---

My initial reaction of Phú Quốc was that it was kind of gloomy. The beaches were ehh...ok. The locals were very friendly and were eager to practice their english. There were a lot of resorts and more under construction. After a couple of hazy days at Mushroom Backpacker, I decided to get a motorbike and tour the northern part of the island. To my surprise, the northern part of the island was extremely secluded. I took the dirt road path into the jungle and it was a bumpy ride. My ass felt like I'd been in prison by the end of the day. Once I passed thru the jungle a deserted beach was on the horizon. Unable to say no to the clear blue water and white sand, I hung out and enjoyed some dragon fruits.

A typical day at Mushroom Backpacker.

Stroll with fellow Travelers
I don't remember much about these fellow travelers. We went out for a stroll and then had a vegetarian lunch together.
