Saturday.
Some concerns re fbg, so must try to temper good input tomorrow.. Quite hungry this morning, so ate well of the buffet..egg pancake and then an egg ommolette….. Some chicken and a little more rice then I anticipated.
So cutting back Sunday onwards.
Once sated, we mounted up and headed south to one of best rated beaches..
In town the traffic busy as usual, but once we hit the highway, traffic trails of dramatically.
Reminded me of a pic of a North Korean highway, all beautifully manicured and picturesque even, but only one solitary horse and cart on it.
This Vietnamese island not to different.
But it does feel nice if a little weird to have so little traffic after the hullabaloo of town.
Beach we hit in 40 mins, with one stop to check where we were, and before I got phone out, local gent, asked if we wanted the beach, and gave directions… Lovely people once again.
Beach lovely.. Busy at entrance way, but thinned out as we walked further away from it.
Found two great sunbeds, and two drinks for three princely sum of £6 all in..bargain.

And we both had a swim, water nice.. Quite a shallow beach, so a good way out before you could actually swim tho.
Vendors on bikes..(ain't everything here.)
Passing by regularly, offering cooked meats/fish.. bought a nice fresh crunchy Baguette, pork, won ton, some salads and a spicey dark sauce… We shared it.. And I guess it spiked me some, but no way to tell.. ( Decided I would test at AM and end of day… AND if I was back in room 2 hrs after meal.)
So this was a NO.. So can't say it it raised my bgs….but it was blooming delicious..

A glorious day, then back on the scooter, and off to watch a sunset at our local bar..
Not a 'toucher' as they all want, but with the fishermen in foreground and the light, I think its one of my favs…

Dressed and off out to the night market .a huge affairs in town, with Street upon Street of food and goods just beside the river..
Will post up later.
Fbg this am 6.8..high for me but now hopefully going to start trending downwards.
Breakfast done, of to North of Island, long Ish journey down dirt track road to find starfish beach... Named as that's were a colony of star fish live.. So should be a nice photo opportunity if nothing else.
Internet intermittent, But have tried to keep current on thread.
So stay safe all.
