Where's Angela now?

It's been 4 months now, back in beautiful Melbourne, where you can get the BEST coffee and brekkie of softly poached eggs on rye/grain/sourdough bread with all the yummiest sides. I've missed you Melbourne!!!

To pick up from where I left off:

1. Nha Trang to Mui Ne:
The former was not quite the 'Surfers' Paradise of Vietnam' as I had been led to expect. The beach was fairly quiet and the weather was quite stormy. It rained everyday we were there. We did become regular patrons at the Aussie fish and chip shop!
Mui Ne was relaxing. Chilled out by the pool as the beach was non-existent during the day. The tide was quite high between 8am-10pm so that pretty much ruled out sunbathing on the beach!

2. Ho Chinh Minh City to Phu Quoc:
HCMC was a crazy, bustling city that never sleeps. Two days really wasn't enough. We managed to fit in Ben Thanh Market, War Remnants Museum and shopping around town.






We took a very quick (2-hour) tour of Ben Tre in the Mekong Delta. The brick kilns were interesting...very hard-working people working in horribly dusty conditions. The boat trip on the Mekong was relaxing. We enjoyed delicious and sweet coconut juice at a coconut farm.
Then it was off to Rach Gia for a night before embarking on a hyrdofoil(speedboat) to Phu Quoc.
Phu Quoc was just the best way to end a 3-month trip around South East Asia. It was 5 days of nothing else but beach, massage, more beach, reading and eating the most exquisite bbq seafood. Ah...what a life! I'm yearning for those hot, humid days as I'm writing this, when the heat prevented you doing much else other than lifting an icy cold drink or laying on a sunbed soaking in the sun, or getting a cheap massage anytime of the day! Bring it all back!!
