Thuong Thinh, Phu Quoc, Day 1

The sleeper bus journey isn't too bad as we are both absolutely shattered as we climb on. Despite being 8 hours without a toilet, we manage to make it to Ha Tiem port without any accidents.
We arrive at 5am and have a 3 hour wait until our ferry comes, which is annoying, but we spend the time reading and eating pho, so it isn't too long before we are sat on the bizarre ferry. It looks more like a plane inside, with comfy seats and a tele showing a love show that one local in particular finds very amusing. After about ninety minutes we arrive on Phi Quoc and clamber into the back of a minibus, for the short journey to our hotel.
We arrive tired, weary, ready for the comfort of a private room, so you can imagine our delight when our room is ready early. We get in around 10am, after being on the move since 5am the previous day, and crash out for four hours sleep.
After that we don't feel up to doing much so we take a small walk to explore before getting much needed haircuts.
As night draws in we sit at Rory's bar on the beach, watching the beautiful sunset and sipping a few cold beers. It's a lovely end to a hectic few days. We then have some food and a few more beers before going to bed, ready for a long and much needed sleep!Read more
