Today was our first day of pure relaxation on the beach. We woke up to the calm sound of the waves and decided to spend the whole day reading, sleeping, eating and sun bathing. We stayed here at Mango Bay and got off our long chairs just to order food. The island has a magical power that makes you feel totally and utterly relaxed and happy. The speed of talk is slowed down and all thoughts seem to focus on how we could possibly live on an island permanently…
Kevin decided to explore the Phu Quoc “night scene†and go squid fishing in the evening. He drove the motorbike down to the docks alone where he joined up with a boat that was about to leave. He caught one squid the whole night but ate a great squid congee dinner washed down with a Vietnamese “333†Beer. He nearly got lost on the long, dusty, unlit and mostly deserted road late at night (went a couple of kilometers too far) which he said was the spookiest driving experience he’d ever had!

I tell you, you two are living a charmed life. I love this post, my mouth is watering at the thought of squid congee… with little bits of fried garlic and some spring onion cut up on top…… YUM YUM YUM!!
And then the dark dusty road at night and Kevin on the motorbike. That’s classic. Did you bring a video camera??? You two are so lucky! Congratulations!
