Monday - Slept quite well on the night bus. At first we thought that the tiny little minibus we were dropped off at was it, luckily it wasn't and the coach was comfortable. Woke up when the bus took a short ferry across the Mekong river and again as we got into Rach Gia. Befriended Ryan on the bus so we ignored the taxi people and walked the short distance between the bus station and ferry terminal. The ferry took almost 3 hours due to rough seas (they really should have designed the bathroom to withstand the constant rocking. Gross).
Most of the resorts are located on the far western side of the island just south of Duong Dong (the biggest town). Matt bartered down the price of our hotel and got us a room upgrade to one with a balcony and sea view! After unpacking we grabbed a few beers and took a walk along the beach. Napped on a lounger with a beer and book. Talked to a few places on the way back to town and managed to book a Christmas snorkelling trip for about 5USD. Explored a temple in a lighthouse and the night market where we ate an amazing fish supper.
