View on the way I traveled by motorbike

Near my guesthouse

I don't know its name

I saw this on the way I traveled by motorbike but there was nobody there to ask what it was.

Sea sickness on the way to the island

A few minutes after I took this shot, I suffered from sea sickness and had to lie down same like them.

One of the boats

Working to build roof of the church

This boat was under repair

Oxen drinking water outside a house

Hải Châu worshiping house of some family

Bunk beds on the ship

Only a few people could buy tickets for these beds. Most of the passengers sit on the mats, but then they will lie down on the floor because of sea sickness.

This ship can carry 400 people & goods

The ship goes every two days. I traveled by this ship from Phú Quý island back to Phan Thiết city.

Pig screaming when being put into the ship

People were trying to push pigs into the ship, while the pigs were screaming and didn't want to. During the trip the pigs also screamed. Fortunately, no pig smell in passenger areas.

Captain's working place

Clean up shells of crabs before boiling

Stairs down to lower level of the ship

Sunset on the way to the island

A pagoda near the port of the island

Linh Sơn pagoda

Great view from the pagoda however I didn't have time to walk up stairs as it was nearly 12am.

Porters carried goods from the ship

I arrived at the island at 7:30pm and saw a big crowd at the port.

Hi Hong Ha, Did you try the crabs? They looked delicious :) I hate sea sickness & very uncomfortable on a long journey.
