(this is not a fake backdrop ! or fake tan ! )Phu Quoc is an Island close to the Vietnam Cambodia border. We were looking forward to a few days of relaxing on the beach with no hawkers, touts etc...
We stayed at a fabulous mini resort "Sea Star" (the most expensive accommodation so far in Asia at a whopping $25 / night). The location is right on the beach, they serve excellent seafood and after a quick morning dip in the warm ocean we passed the hours away reading and snoozing on sun loungers. To break up a laborious day we would avail ourselves of an afternoon beach massage (a bargain at $4 for 1 hour) and a fresh fruit selection from the super strong ladies on the beach who carry marathon loads of fruit along the sandy beaches and expertly carve the pineapple in front of you.
We would then welcome in the sunset with a bottle of Dalat wine in the early evening - just bliss !
