HALONG BAY

HALONG BAY - 2 nights on the boat

So I arrived back from Sapa on another overnight train ride back to Hanoi at 5 in the morning. I got some coffee and was picked up at 7:30 for another 3,5 hour bus ride to Halong Bay.

We arrived around noon and check in on to out boat THE MARGERUITE JUNK ... Halong Bay is full with Junk ships and tourists because it is one of THE places to visit. We had lunch on the boat and then visited some caves, did some cajaking and had dinner again on the boat.

The scenery there is just breathtaking.... there are around 1.900 islands in Halong Bay. And all yoy can see is layers of layers of islands...is is quiet stunning.

We stopped to for the night where all the boats stop and had the chance to go swimming, but to be honest the water did not look to nice there ..so I skipped that one.

The next day we went to CAT BA island and had a challenging hike up the mountain ... and it was HOT.

Lunch and Dinner again on the junk ... met some interesting people from all over the world .. which was fun.

And the the next day breakfast and back to Ha Noi city for the last time.
