Here are some Phu Quoc beach pics that many of you have requested. These pics were taken on the beach in front of my hotel looking north & south. The island has many different beaches - this one is supposed to be one of the best & the longest - about 4 kilometers (2.4 mi) which I walked daily. Note that beach is empty - not sure why - but has been that way since I arrived.!? High season = Nov to Feb - low (rainy) season begins mid-Jun. Appears I hit the in-between season. But I have met some really nice European & Australian ladies - most world travelers with whom I enjoy sharing travel stories.
I was told the diving here stunk - but 2 ladies (English & Australian) convinced me to go snorkeling with them. I was pleasantly surprised to discover some coral! Visibility = poor (10-20 feet). Not many fish but lots of sea urchins (one of my favorite seafoods).. Snorkeling convinced me that a diving expedition probably wasn't worth the cost.
I return to Saigon tomorrow - Saturday, May 29. Immediately after landing in Saigon, I have been invited to the Linh's house for their annual feast honoring her father's ancestors. This is a major cultural. & family event that I am honored to have been invited to attend.
