Squid fishing - the one that got away
The one that the boat owner caughtWe haven't exactly been pushing ourselves here, as we have found a great island just inside the Vietnamese border called Phu Quoc - very relaxing, with excellent seafood and cheap beer. I can seee our 1 month visa disappearing here.
We went squid fishing - not a sausage! - and have a couple of days diving under our belt - where we saw cuttlefish, baby shark, scorpion fish and some truly beautiful hard coral formations - Oh yes, and a really fat grouper squeezed into a sponge coral, quite a sight.
75p buys us a pint of Saigon Beer, and $5 purchases a large snapper, $3 equals 4 large prawns and $1.25 gets us a wonderful bowl of beef noodle soup. The toughest decision of the day is whether to take 2 or 3 mangoes from the beach-seller. My brain is fast turning to pate. Its very laid back, the only tension arising when the massage ladies tussle over who gets to work on Western.
