Phu Quoc

The next few days in Phu Quoc were nice and relaxing. I met two lovely couples from Sweden and we hung out alot and chatted about life. It was a nice place to sit back and get your laundry done, get a massage and regain some energy for the travel ahead The place we stayed at was a bit comical. When I first met Andreas and Eva I was speaking to the front desk because my mini fridge smelled like a rat crawled in there and died. They kindly put some coffee ground in the frig to try and overwhelm the death smell...but the stench still overtook the room within seconds. Andres told me that their frig also smelled like that. Yuck!! This place was quite old and been there for a while

Philip and Anna told us that the road had just been paved a few months ago and the street lights were brand new. Many of the restaurants were also new, so it seems that tourism is just blossoming for foreigners in that area.

I thought it was quite funny that night that Andreas told me they ordered a mixed drink with vodka...and it arrived with gin...It was quite funny becuase at our dinner we ordered a vodka with lime juice and got tequila...so 2 nights in a row this happened to them...From that point on, I was content not to order mixed drinks. Instead we bought some vodka from the shop and mixed it with Lychee juice..which was heaven.It was nice to relax for a few days...because the next day was an all day journey back to Saigon for the Mekong Tour.
