Phu Quoc Sunset
Phu Quoc, Vietnam
March 23rd, 2021
Today we’re retreating to nature, gazing into the sunset on an island off the coast of Vietnam. Tomorrow we’ll take a quick look around — there’s not much happening here other than sun, sand and sea. Just perfect.
More tomorrow,
Kelly

Beautiful sunset! I somehow always associate that dark blue tinge of the water to early sunrise, maybe images set in my mind from the first seaside sunrise I witnessed 🙂
But the peace during a sunrise or sunset can be felt always in this picture too 🌅

Even beautiful sunsets can’t cheer me today, Kelly. The latest government proposals in the UK make the prospects of my seeing family any time soon even more distant. And yesterday a friend here messaged me that her daughter lives in Boulder, in the area where the shooting occurred. Hard to put the cheerful face on sometimes. Sorry!

Oh, Jo. I’m sorry to hear the news on both accounts. I had hoped things were improving. What are the proposals? Prolonged travel bans? Also sad to know the Boulder tragedy has reached around the world to you. What a dark time it is. Wishing you better days ahead.

I don’t think anyone knows exactly how to come out of this, Kelly, especially a small overpopulated island like the UK. A fine of £5000 on anyone leaving the UK for a holiday, with a few exceptions. Not sure yet when it would apply but my son was thinking to visit in May or June. Nothing is certain right now. 😦

Wow, that’s a big fine. First I’ve heard of that type of approach. You’re right Jo, it’s getting clearer that this is a much longer process than anyone had thought, with a lot of setbacks along the way. Sorry to hear it.

Beautiful! One of the places in Viet Nam in all our time there that we didn’t manage to get to experience….

Hi Peta! We went to Phu Quoc in a whim and a recommendation from the person at the air ticket office. 🙂 There was a cyclone heading into the mid-coast of Vietnam so going anywhere there wasn’t going to be possible. Phu Quoc is probably way more developed now (this was in 2010) but it was nice for a couple days! Hope you’re well!
