Slept really really well. We are planning to spend the next few days relaxing by the hut and on the beach. We have no real schedule whilst we are here as its just a stopover to break the flights back to Blighty. We may go to the night markets and have a look around the island but its difficult without public transport. We plan to spend a couple of months travelling around Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos in the not to distant future so its nice just to kick back and relax..
The foods good, the beers cheap, the sea is warm and we are staying in a really cool place so theres not much need to mooch around. There is jungle to the north of us with jungle trails and Crispy loves a bit of jungle exploring . We may head on up there at some point. We will see how the wind blows.
What is interesting is that all the youngsters talk about the Vietnamese being forgiving people in respect of America during the Viet Nam war.
They see America as Aggressor's who invaded their country. I am no expert on the subject but as I understood it the Americans came to liberate the south from communist suppression by the north. Makes you wonder what is being taught in schools. Still what do I know.
The other thing is that Viet Nam was once a french colony and there are lots of french here. I guess everywhere has its downside (The small case f's were deliberate).

Other than that not much to report from Nam at the moment.
Bare and Crispy Signing off, Phu Quoq, Viet Nam.
