Last day at Phu Quoc as we get ready to head back. Start with the usual huge fresh breakfast (fyi the best was at Raffles Phnom Penh, followed by Nikko HCMC and Victoria in Siam Reap..but this one's pretty good. Not that I'm into breakfast or anything! ).
Take lots of beach and pool time today - and we bring our own bottle of Gordon's for G/Ts... The staff are very laissez-faire about BYOB, and actually offer us an ice bucket! Still. Super. Hot. A fitting day to finish reading Vincent Lam's latest book, The Headmaster's Wager, set in HCMC's Cholon/Chinatown and covering the range of Japanese occupation, French Indochina colonization and then the Vietnam/American War. This is a fantastic book to read on this trip. It's like the time I read Margaret Atwood's Surfacing on my first-ever canoe trip in Algonquin Park -- love it when a story really comes to life like this.
Have a scrumptious Indian dinner at Ganesh just down the road and get ready to head back to HCMC before catching our flight back home.
