Morning light lifts off the bay as the cable car pulls you from An Thoi and carries you over a scatter of islands; the sea below dares you to look down and the wind tugs at your hat. From the gondola the coastline unspools — coral-dotted shallows, fishing skiffs, and the small shape of Hon Thom growing larger until you step out into warm, salt-scented air.
