Just a quick post, tried to put some pictures on but the virus software on the computer I'm using just quarantined half of my pictures, taken me half an hour to get them back on the memory card, don't fancy trying again really!! We left Saigon for Can Tho spent a very hot 4 hours in a minibus but apart from that it was an uneventful trip. Decided that evening that we should still have enough time to get to the island of Phu Quoc for a few days. The next morning we were all up at 4.45am to go on a tour of the Mekong delta, had a great guide who made the tour for us, he took us up the river to a couple of different floating markets, showed us a noodle factory and then took us for lunch on the way back, I had 'Elephants ear fish'! We left that afternoon for Rach Gia which is the port town that the ferry to Phu Quoc leaves from. Spent the night there and then got the ferry the following morning, they were showing Rambo films on the ferry, something we weren't expecting. We're sharing 2 single beds between the 3 of us on Phu Quoc at the moment so its a bit cosy, the accomodation we've got is only 100m from the beach. The plan for today was to go on a deep sea fishing and snorkelling trip but unfortunately both Colm and I had some sort of bug overnight, both had bad diorrhea and vomiting, we both seem to be pretty much over it now though. Tomorrow we get the ferry off Phu Quoc to Ha Tien on the Vietnam/Cambodia border, then its onto the back of a moped each to get to Kep on the South coast of Cambodia. Hope everyone is coping with the arctic conditions back at home and Simon hopefully your throat is better, hopefully we'll see you back here soonish!
