Here we are in Vung Tau staying with Richard and Huong for a few days before we travel to Can Tho and the floating market. Vung Tau is a pretty island a couple of hours east of Saigon. We flew down to Saigon Monday morning and then travelled across to the island by minibus. We have been taken around the island, which has lovely beaches, and sampled the wonderful seafood sold in the local market just down the road, cooked by Huong and her friends. This morning we went swimming in the sea then we were taken to a floating restaurant for lunch that served up octopus, oysters and razor shells, with a splendid view up and down the river. We were so full we decided to walk it off and have a late afternoon/early evening walk up a nearby mountain to watch the sun set across the bay. What a great couple of days!
