Phu Quoc Island - Time for a Vacation Before Heading Home

10 - 13 March 2015

The next morning we boarded the Superdong for a 2.5 hour ride to Phu Quoc Island:

We arrived at the island, boarded a bus into town, and started the walk to our hotel.  We made it about half way when we of course had to stop for pizza and beer after which we decided to take a cab the last 1.5 miles...I know...lazy, but we are on vacation now!

We arrived at Daisy Resort around 1:00 PM on Tuesday and didn't leave it until 7:00 PM on Thursday.  The only thing that got us out on Thursday was we met some people at happy hour who were walking down the road for dinner, so we decided to join them.  Up until that point we slept in, at breakfast, sat by the pool, drank beer, went to happy hour at the pool bar, ate dinner at the resort, went to sleep, and repeated for 2.5 days until we went out to dinner which wound up being a great idea:

Fresh seafood to choose from.

We then went back to the resort and didn't leave it for another 2 days when it was time to check out.  Here is a tour of the resort:

Believe it or not, one of my favorite parts of the resort is our bathroom that is outside:

Dual shower heads

Now you understand how we pretty much spent 4 full days here without leaving (except for a couple hours for dinner one night).

Unfortunately, tomorrow morning we fly back to Ho Chi Minh City for one for one last night in Vietnam before we fly back to the US.
