Hello!
Am sure I would win the prize for the longest drawn-out poster of holiday snaps in Blogland!
So, here are the final lot and, even though it was months ago now, I couldn't not share these because, well, it was a fabulously wonderful holiday.
Enough chat, here's the pics and a short video at the end:
 |
| The view we saw each morning... just a few steps away |
 |
| I loved to get up early |
 |
| ...and flip flop around on the sand |
 |
| our bungalow by the sea |
 |
| Beach to the left of us |
 |
| Beach to the right of us |
 |
| To show where we were ... Phu Quoc Island, about a 40 minute flight from Saigon (HCMC) |
... now back to the pics:
 |
Each sunset was beautiful.
The weather was warm, not too humid and no mosquitoes |
 |
| So much relaxing ... |
 |
| A short walk to the restaurant |
A little look inside the bungalow:

Don't think I stopped grinning all the time we were there!

Silhouette of my dear hubby, who organised it all and made sure my birthday wish, of staying somewhere by the water, came true

DeleteThis looks like a truly heavenly place - it must have been lovely to celebrate your birthday in such a stunning location. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, and like you I would have probably got up early to take a walk along the beach. Paradise.
ReplyDeleteHi Carola, and thank you.
DeleteThe hotel management kept the sand so nice and clean - so it was a pleasure to be able to have those walks under the palms... it was like a little paradise :D)
Sue what breathtaking photos. I loved your sunsets. I am so glad you shared this lovely spot where you celebrated your birthday. Looks like you are going to be savoring these lovely memories for quite some time. Have a great week. Hugs!

Deleteaw, thank you Teresa... it was delightful, a real treat. Your thoughts are most appreciated :D)
Wow, looks an amazing place to stay. I've never been to Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteHi Lin, it was very nice indeed. It was the second time I'd been to Vietnam so had a better idea of how things worked over there. Its a very different culture but so easy to fit into :D) Hope you get to visit there one day!
DeleteFabulous imagery and audio, Sue. They make me want to pack a bag and jump on a plane. It must’ve been a special and memorable anniversary adventure for you both. Thank you for sharing. :-) xo
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! oh, yes, the waves were lovely - to hear them through the night is gorgeous too. The video was very early morning, I used my stick everywhere I went there's a clanking sound towards the end... lol, thats me dropping it for the millionth time while I wield the camera ;D)
DeleteIt is, so special to remember - a truly lovely holiday - so glad we did it :D) xx

Yes, most beautiful Debbie.
DeleteVietnam is a most beautiful country, the central highlands are gorgeous too.
Its definitely an unforgettable holiday adventure :D) xx
Thanks for the map to show where you were in Vietnam. The beach scenes look wonderful and I'm sure it was perfection with good hotel facilities. Even if it was a while ago you have happy memories. Thank you for sharing photos that give a sense of your enjoyment and relaxation.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda and thanks for that.
DeleteThe facilities were good, even though we were situated away from the main hotel... it was a nice walk, either by the beach or along paths to the restaurant for breakfast etc... lol, needed a little bit of exercise ;D)
An amazing holiday and I have enjoyed each and every photo. I love the look of your bungalow and so nice to see you in the collage. I had my eye on that bed too, and those amazing views looking out at the ocean. Thank you for sharing them Sue :)
