Dam Trau Beach - Con Dao

"Even though the propeller plane's engines are loud in the cabin, it hardly drowns out the sound of my buzzing stomach. I'm hungry for an exotic adventure - like a bear who just woke up from hibernation - hungry for honey. Behind me is a 24-hour flight of December gray and five days ahead of us at Con Dao. Oh dear, I can't wait to feel the warm rays of the sun and dig my toes in the hot sand!"
