Phu Quoc - December 2nd

Today we decide to take it easy so all we do is get up, eat breakfast, walk to Mango Bay, a resort on the beach which is slightly further away than the nearest beach, but which is more picturesque. And we spend the day there before coming back to our big communal dinner.

The interesting thing about the resort is that because people are coming and going every day it is never the same people at the communal dinner, so you get to meet new people all the time, although there will be one or two who have been there each night with you as well.  So it is a good mix.  Tonight we meet an Australian couple who have come from two months in India, as opposed to one for us.  And they have had twice the number of problems we have had, and have exactly the same impressions we have had (about the rudeness in particular) so we have a late night bitching session with them which helps us feel that we are not being unusually sensitive in our impressions of India.
