After a 15 hour journey from Saigon we finally arrived yesterday in Phu Quoc, an island off the south coast of Vietnam. The journey was Uneventful but tiring as we spent 9 hours of it on a sleeper bus without much sleep due to excessive use I the horn by the driver and generally some pretty bad and bumpy roads. Phu Quoc itself is a stunning place though. The south of the island is covered with perfect beaches, although resorts are starting to fill up the pristin...
