Especially for Ái Vân - my sweet new friend from Côn Đảo

Côn Đảo Islands used to be known as the land of prisons or the hell on earth in the wartime. Today, Côn Đảo is a paradise, a destination for lovers.

The beaches are so beautiful. Love the sand, the water, and the sky. You look great, dear smile

Biển đẹp và vắng em nhỉ, six senses Côn Đảo là wish list năm nay của chị.

@ chi Hằng: Glad you like it, chi Hằng. You should visit Côn Đảo if you have a chance. It's the best islands in VN. hehehe

@ dW: Thanks, dW. There are still many more interesting places in Vietnam for me to discover.

@ Ái Vân: I hope so. hehehehe

@ chị Nhã: Ui, vậy à? Em chỉ dám đến đó uống cà phê thôi. Giá phòng ở đó đắt lắm. Nhưng mà tiền nào của nấy. Phòng ốc đẹp lắm chị à. Six Senses có lợi thế về phong thủy lắm - lưng tựa núi còn mặt hướng ra biển. Em chúc chị sớm thực hiện được dự định này. Lúc nào chị đi về nhớ đưa ảnh lên cho em xem với nhé. smile

WOW Lan! such amazing pictures, I could almost 'feel' the air, the waves/water... smell the sky if that is possible! this post made me happy and long inside. smile

what sort of breakfast? is in that bun? a cucumber or pickle? herbs? looks very interesting!

Hi Jill, I'm happy you like it. My breakfast is a loaf of French bread stuffed with ground pork, cucumber, pickle, herbs and spices. It's really yummy. smile

Cumcumber AND pickle? How odd, unless the pickle is not a pickled cucumber. I think I see cilantro in there.
That bread is not a true baguette ... in this country, we might call it an Italian bread, because it's shorter. I've never been able to detect a difference in flavour.
Incidentally, that sort of bread, hot, is excellent when filled with a really strong soft-ripened cheese (Limburger, Camembert, etc.) with chopped red/purple Italian onion. A nice, hearty beer is good with it, too, or a white wine.

@dW: yeah, it's weird but they served fresh cucumber and pickled carrot and papaya. hehehehe

Talk about cheese, I don't think I'm a foodie as I cannot stand it. sad

Yes ... most Asians think us roundeyes are crazy for eating spoiled milk.

Paradise indeed! And to be there with you!?! OMG!! Paradise x 10.smile bigsmile happy

Huong Lan Wednesday, April 6, 2011 9:41:38 AM

@dW: ... and you guys think Lan is crazy for eating spoiled fish (fish sauce). hehehe

@innitlike: Yeah, it's a very beautiful and relaxing place. smile
