Early rising for a long filled travel day to Halong Bay! The 4 hour bus ride was entertaining in itself, the highlight being a hot bowl of phö at a rest stop and many times wondering if the driver was trying to commit suicide by driving directly into oncoming traffic.
Halong Bay, although unfortunately rainy, was gorgeously breathtaking with large limestone karst budding greenery. A few other boats sprinkled the horizon as we all speechlessly took in the scenery from our deck.
At Halong Bay, we explored the dark secrets of a nearby cave and then hit the bay with kayaks in the rain!
Best of all, food of course. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was fresh aboard our boat consisting of seafood (calamari, prawn and sea bass) and meats (chicken, pork, beef) in a lime, salt and pepper dressing. Ginger, lemongrass and mint adorned almost every dish. Everything was prepared beautifully and we happily ate our delicious Vietnamese food whilst chattering away about the day.
