How Gwil spent his birthday
Gwil turned 26 yesterday! Old man!! But more about that later...
When we got back to Saigon from Cambodia, we got to catch up with Daz for dinner. Gwil had been keen to try scorpion or some other crazy menu-item from Vietnam, and thought that Daz would be a great partner-in-crime (ie. "I'll do it if you do it!"). So we left the ordering to Daz, as he could do it in Vietnamese. We had amazing BBQ beef and very fresh prawns (they were still jumping when put on the hot BBQ). Then out comes a big plate, with an even bigger scorpion on it. SCORPION. Not Scorpions!! Daz had ordered only ONE, which was all Gwil's!! A nasty trick, but once it was in front of him, Gwil couldn't turn back.
We are now in Phu Quoc, in a pretty fancy resort, with a bungalow that opens onto the beach.
Celebrating Gwil's birthday here was a lot of fun, with a big focus on doing not much at all!
We got massages on the beach,
chilled out under palm trees,
watched the sun go down from our bungalow's balcony,
and ate the most amazing seafood buffet we've ever had, while barefoot on the sand, right at the ocean's edge.

Goodness Gracious how audacious I wanna spend my birthday just like Gwilym did... but I don’t want to have what he’s having! YUCK! A mother doesn’t need to know her boy is going around eating scorpions!
Love the Toilet sign, love the Carefull Elephants... love all the photos in fact, the sunrise, the climb, the buildings, the roots, the kids... all wonderful.
Haven’t got onto clearing out your room yet... only have eight days left, I hope I get it done in time. Love Pennie
You two have taken some superb photos and done so many fantastic things. The beach BBQ/buffet looks so romantic.
Only a week now......!
