Feb. 10 Phu Quoc Island

We are enjoying our laid-back time on this lovely island with it's beautiful beaches and great weather. Our bungalow is perfect, minus the hard mattress, but that seams to be the custom here. The Vietnamese people are super nice, all so small in stature, the women especially, so tiny and gracefull and very hard working. Yesterday at sunset we treated ourselves to a very expensive spa treatment, which consisted of a one hour full body massage right on the beach under an almond tree. This wonderful experience set us back a mere 4 dollars each!!! (I think I will have another one today!)
For our meals we either eat at our Sea Star hotel or just walk up the beach to any other little place that has tables out on the beach. There is lots of good seafood, like squid, prongs and local fish. The only trouble we have is with ordering, it's mostly hit and miss, as few waiters really understand what you are saying! But you really can't go wrong with anything.
Tomorrow we have to leave this great spot and move on the the Mekong Delta which we very much look forward to.
