La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc

Freshly Chopped Nuts

As my wife and I sat down to have breakfast we couldn't help but notice a small man walk buy wielding a machete. He stopped in front of a tall coconut palm, tied a length of rope onto his waist them proceeded to climb the tree with relative ease, hand over foot. We watched as he tied his rope onto the bunch of coconuts before giving them a few hearty whacks with his knife. After the bunch broke free he straddled his bunch and waited as his helper came to lower him down on his rope.
