Re: Bali
Without wishing to draw attention away form Scampi’s holiday and great news, but I will. I’ve just come back from Phu Quoc. It’s part of Vietnam, an island and closer to Bangkok and Cambodia than mainland Vietnam.
VERY undeveloped but (supported by Gov inititives) it’s developing fast. Incredible beaches and scenery, wonderful people who Barely speak a word of English outside of the resorts which makes for an amazing stay. If you like Bali or Phuket, forget it. If you’re looking for Koh Samui 25 years ago, get on a plane.
We loved it.
P.s. Scampi, I did say congrats on Faceplank but now you’re back in DXB and the ring still fits - Congrats Again. ( dates for the stag need to be 6 months+ for me and Milly).

I was more thinking we could all be guests at the wedding in Bali.
I sorta know how to behave .

No rush MrShed, date not set but not likely to happen until summer 2020. No rush to buy a new hat or dress yet pal.

Re: Bali
I only go once a week and that's enough times to never want to have to go back when it's open.
Thanks chap, hope all is well back home
