Got to Phu Quoc in 30 minutes from Can Tho. Although the floating markets and Qui's family were highlights of the trip, Can Tho itself was not. We got out a day early and happy that we have an extra day here on Phu Quoc. This is a resort island on the upswing. Lots of hype but it hasn't landed yet. There is a lot of construction and more resorts are on the way. I'm glad I'm here now before the eminent explosion of people.
Checked into the hotel and had a few beers by the pool and beach and then Zoom and I headed to the night market in the main town here. A lot of food vendors serving the freshest seafood around. Tonight we had grilled prawns, huge, head on and perfectly cooked, grilled diver scallops, grilled in the shell, awesome, grilled calamari, perfectly cooked and a seafood salad with carrot, taro, herbs, shrimp, calamari, lime juice and chili's. I'm sure there were some other thing in there too. All for 220,000 VN dongs, or about $11 including a few cold beers each. Delicious and stuffed.
Heading to bed soon. Fish sauce factory and fishing with a crab fisherman tomorrow. Can't wait!
