Island Time

A couple days in Phu Quoc is just what the doctor ordered.

We booked a couple nights at a cute little resort called Mango Beach on the opposite side of the island from the main touristy area. They had a whole fleet of small dogs that hung out on the property.

The resort had a row of beautiful wood bungalows that face the ocean.

Our bungalow opened directly East onto a beautiful view of the sunrise over the dock. 

They only had one motorbike available for rent, so I hung on to the back while Nick drove us into town to go exploring. We made the ill-conceived decision to circumnavigate the island, not realizing that most of the road down our side of the island was not just unpaved, but replete with deep ruts and potholes. It was a harrowing, bumpy, multi-hour adventure that left us both a little drained.

We opted to spend our last full day on Phu Quoc reading, relaxing, and planning our next travel move.

And of course, watching the sunset.
