House No.1, Phu Quoc, Day 3

After a day of rest yesterday, we are up early feelig ready to go this morning. The plan is to take a nice ride around the south of the island, taking in the sights along the way.
We arrive back near the first hotel and have some breakfast whilst hunting for some bicycles. They are hars to find, but we eventually get some, before heading off on the hopefully scenic ride.
We soon realise the ride isn't quite what we thought. First off, it's around 15 miles each way, and secondly, it's along the side of a main road.
We arrive at sao beach after over an hour of pedalling. The beach is nice, but maybe slightly underwhelming in contrast to the many great reviews we had heard. We have some food staring out at the clear sea, before getting back on the bikes and starting the journey back.
It's a different route this time, and it's definitelymore enjoyable. There are a few viewpoints and sights we intend to go to on the way, but we either miss them or they are at the top of steep hills that our stuck-in-high-gear bikes can't handle. It is a much nicer ride though and we get some nice views of the hills and countryside of the island.
We arrive back in duong dong wih tired legs, and jump into a taxi back to the hotel. We eat again in the veggie restaurant before going back to the room. We're both knackered, so stay in bed as an incredibly loud bar crawl passes by downstairs. Tomorrow is my birhday, and also the final full day we have of our travels in vietnam!Read more
