Just like any other ordinary beach scene huh...

And then the storm came...

And the waves came furiously crashing in...

Somebody didn't seem too perturbed...

Lush landscaping at Eden Resort...

I think this should be lotus...

and this, lily, judging by the flat lily pads...

Hopped over to La Verandah, a neighbouring resort on Phu Quoc Island, for dinner and drinks

and dessert...

White french shutters and white rattan chairs...

Very french colonial style...

Love the floor tiles...
Meanwhile back in Ho Chi Minh City, we ate at my favourite 'old world charm' vietnamese restaurant, Anh Vien, where i tried Banh Xeo, a vietnamese pancake dish for the first time. I'd post a picture of it if i had a better camera.
Post-edit: It's good to travel with friends with cameras better than mine! Photo of Banh Xeo (pronounced By-ein Siauw)
My colleagues suggested dessert and drinks at The Refinery, a bistro type eating place housed in an old french colonial building with a big courtyard, a hidden gem tucked away from the hustle-bustle of Hai Ba Trung Street, just opposite Park Hyatt.
Great place, great ambience.
Having our complimentary martini at the in-house bar in Movenpick, our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
