Beautiful Phu Quoc?

We flew over to this remote Island as we'd read & heard so many great things about the gorgeous Sandy beaches that stretched for Miles & which are apparently the best in Vietnam. However the fact that we weren't even sure we'd reach our hotel because the little lane leading to it was flooded should have given us an indicator of things to come ;-)

It pretty much rained the whole time we were there. We didn't get the chance to experience the beautiful beaches because the sun never came out & we couldn't really get around the Island as it was too wet & a bit too risky to hire a moped. So in between the rain showers we would wade up the lane (the water was up to our knees!) & make our way up to a few of our favourite places;

1. The Curry House. We ate there 3 times over 2 days which explains just how tasty it was
2. The Tapas restaurant. They sold red wine & cheese. Enough said.
3. The little shop at the end of the lane that sold cheap beer & vodka. Enough said.

To be honest we did make the most of our time in Phu Quoc, and I can't say that we didn't like it - we just didn't enjoy it as much as we thought we would.
