We were really excited the next morning to get on a ferry to Phu Quoc island- this is the honeymoon part of the trip where we had a fancy resort booked for 5 nights :) About 4 different friends had recommended the island so lots to look forward to! The ferry ride was fine, we sat next to some Dutch people who we did the one day Mekong delta tour with, they were really nice and gave us some great tips for Cape Town and one of them had recently lived there.

It meant the first day we were on the same tour ppl from Saigon booked just for the day. It was absolutely terrible!

The driving felt really safe too, well as safe as u can feel in the crazy traffic and dodgy roads here! It seriously is the best way to see 'the real Vietnam' (as they market it), you take the back roads where the buses don't go so you get to see lots of villages and peopl...
