Day 9 – Move to new resort

A quick check on the internet told us the weather wasn’t going to change for the next week – so our flights were going to have to. We had planned 4 full days in this place – and that seemed somehow bad in our sleep deprived state. So a taxi trip back to the airline office in town saw us exchanging them for an extra day in Ho Chi Ming City and two more in Singapore.

We then spent the morning exploring the town and realising there was nothing outside the resorts to cater for the tourists – this place was pretty raw, making for some fantastic photo opportunities.

We ordered lunch at a local “Pho” place (Pho is noodle soup – it’s what all the locals live on here). There was no menu – we just smiled at the lady and pointed to one of her seats and she nodded and away we went – apart from the noodles, we had no idea what we were eating – but it was tasty!



Back to the resort – the next priority was finding a more comfortable place to stay for the next 2 nights – which we did, and weren’t disappointed. This was our new place on the beach:





Put our feet up for the rest of the afternoon and even caught our first glimpse of Phu Quoc sun as it was setting:



Found a small beach-front bar that served food - so stayed for dinner. We were the only ones there so stayed on a while for a few games of pool – walking home to our new bunglow after dark in the rain along the beach.
