Last days.... (written on march 29th)

My last days on Phu Quoc was amazing: went on a snorkeling boat tour in the south of the island. There's actually a bay with several small islands with very clear water, I was amazed by the underwater life, amazing colours, many fish, coral etc. We had an amazing lunch, tried some fishing (very unsuccesful for me but the others got a lot of fish) and then moved to the most beautiful beach I've ever seen, with a lot of very big beautiful jellyfish, but you could so easely see them to avoid touching them. Bai sao beach is awesome.

After this we went back to long beach where I stayed, have a last swim and enjoyed the evening on the beach. There was a huge storm that wake me up in the middle of the night, because oh the rain I cancelled my hike in the national park and went to the museum instead. It shows the prehistorical life on the island, potery, plants and animals, also the history. It was very nice, very interesting. After lunch I just chilled out on the beach, enjoyed the water, at night it started to rain again, but stopped really quickly.

In the morning (really really early) I took a boat to Rha gia, then take a bus to Cathon, in the Mekong Delta. It's really nice. I just walked around the city near the river, had a great diner and went to sleep. I wake up at 5 to go on a boat trip on the river, saw the sunset, the floating markets weren't that impressive but it's actually pretty funny to buy your morning coffee from a small wooden boat. The canals were great. It was a little bit too long but nice. After I came back, I went to the bus station and went to Saigon. It was a very long ride and I arrived at 7 pm. So after 6 hours boat, I spent 6 hours in a minibus and took a moto'bike guy to finally arrive to Buy Vien. I was so exhausted and starving, went to eat, met these australian guys, we went to a small bar that just opened, there I met a crazy guy named Paul, such a funny guy! and a very nice couple, we spent the evening together, it was really nice. The next day I actually waited for my money transfer for ages, was starving like a refugee, got a really bad experience with Thai people who at least offered me lunch and finally got some money so I finally went to eat a proper diner, went for some shopping for my friends ;) and went back to the bar, where I spent my evening with Alexander, very nice guy from Zurick and Paul showed up also. Nice last night in Asia! I went to bed quite late and woke up at 7 to get my flight. I arrived at 12 pm and I'm spending the day in Bangkok chilling out: massage, manicure, pedicure, shopping, and a lot of food!!! It's nice!
I'm so exhausted that I cannot even think about the fact that this is it: the end of my trip. Two months already being away, travelling through Asia. All good things come to an end...

So, this is it. I will post one more message to share my impressions and give travelling tips when I'm home and relaxed.
Cheers.
