Well we settled comfortably on Phu Quoc even tending bar for Lee at Safari Bar in our last few days on the island. As we had become regulars at the bar over the past month and fast friends with Lee and Sinh we were trusted to watch the bar so Lee could go to the mainland to renew his visa and Sinh could focus on the kitchen and not worry about front of house so much. Im not one to pass up on free beer and as it wasn't that busy it was a no brainer. I even had time to teach Sinh, who is a wizard in the kitchen, how to make kim chi. We all went down to the market in the morning and ran to keep up with Sinh as she wove her way easily through the chaos. Grabbing all our ingredients for the day, Sinh packed them on her scooter and went on ahead as we walked with Charlie to catch a taxi. I couldn't help but wonder if anyone thought we had stolen the small child but no one seemed to notice. Charlie especially liked the ducks for sale.
A last frolic on the beach and a long night up with Lee when he got back and we were ready to move on from paradise. It would be easy to make a home here but we are not quite ready just yet. Thanks to all who made our stay amazing, Lee and Sinh, Dan and Lana, Claudia and Ollie, Laap and Tweet and of course Mr. Hieu at the museum who saw us off sadly as we caught our bus to the boat. We will miss you Phu Quoc, hope to see you soon.
That is quite the backpack Kimberlay!!! Is your wife in there?!
