Phu Quoc - paradise!

I'm writing this from the departure lounge in Kuala Lumpar, on my way back to England. I've paid to go in one of the fancy lounges because I can have a shower, and there's free food and drink! I've just got back from an amazing few days on the island of Phu Quoc, which is off the south coast of Vietnam, quite near Cambodia. It's a 40 minute flight and dirt cheap, and I'd heard great things about Phu Quoc so I decided to treat myself to a one-year anniversary present to myself!
People weren't wrong in there descriptions of Phu Quoc - it really is paradise. It is only just opening up as a tourist resort so it is completely unspoilt. I stayed in a lttle hotel which was right on the beach and every day I had the whole beach to myself. The sound of the waves lulled me to sleep every night and I whiled away the days reading and sunbathing. I really wanted a few days away as I was feeling very tired and drained from quite an intensive two months of living out of a suitcase in various places doing workshops. I loved that, but I needed some quality me time to chill out before coming back, as I didn't want to arrive back to people telling me how tired I looked! I spent five days there, quite literally doing nothing, but I feel so much better for it. I ate fresh seafood every day and went for a couple of runs along the beach during my more energetic moments. I also met some lovely people at the hotel who were travelling around Vietnam and even won a game of scrabble on the last night!
So, I'm now fully refreshed and very excited/nervous about coming back to the UK tomorrow. It's interesting the difference I feel between when I came back for Christmas last year and coming back now. On both occasions, I've obviously been dying to see family and friends again as I miss you all so much. Yet, at Christmas, when I was still not yet settled in Yen Bai, I was longing to come back and always referred to it as going home. Yet now, I am much more settled, and since being in Phu Quoc, I've had text messages and calls from my Vietnamese friends telling me that they miss me. A few have texted me to ask me when I'm going home. I've found this question strange as they all know that I'm coming back to Yen Bai on 30 August with my mum and sister, and then I realise that they mean back home to the UK, not Yen Bai. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of extending my stay in Vietnam or living here, but for now it's home.
