I had intended to post at least a dozen photos last week but it seems that there is a problem posting to Blogspot from this location. Other traveler have experienced the same thing. Anyway, I’m wring this from our little hut in Phu Quoc but will likely publish when we are in Thailand tomorrow.
First things first, how is Jemma? Jemma is doing great. Her leg is healing now that we have the right cleaning solution, dressing pads and of course, python fat. The only downer is that she cant get the wound wet, or hater shouldn’t, for fear of dreaded infection. So the pool and ocean are out of bounds for her.
We are staying at the Ninila fruit farm. There are about 20 palm thatched rooms that are delightful. The new infinity pool is beautiful and we are about a 20minute walk from the beach. The fruit farm has a restaurant with a good menu with lots of seafood as well as western dishes. It’s been a week of rest, wandering and reflecting on our past few months. This is it. We are rapidly coming to the end of this adventure. Today is our last full day in Vietnam. We have a long travel day with a 7hr lay over at Ho Chi Minh City airport before heading up to Chiang Mai vi Bangkok. We will make no attempt to go out of the airport. I think we have come to the end of our patience with the insanity of the motorbike traffic of the city. We will stay put and wait the day out, eating at the Burger King and gorging on chocolate from the duty free.
10 days to go. We will visit the Mundays (Jamie Munday is Shannon's Aziz's brother. Shannon is our friend from ringette and we have been camping with the Mundays up at Kawkawa Lake in Hope for the past three years) in Chiang Mai. Leah is 9 months pregnant, delivery due at the end of this month. We will meet up with Jon, Andy and Glenda’s friends from their DTS last year and Owen Brown, an old school chum of Jenny’s. Chiang Mai is as warm as it is here and we just learned that we will arrive during ‘burning time’ when waste vegetation is burned off the fields taking the Air Quality Index up to a massive 120-140. Awesome!
Next post will be from Thailand or, possibly from the airport on our way home!
Below are a couple of photos that I was unable to post last week.
