Ha Long Bay, Vietnam


After of few days of hectic Hanoi we decided to escape the city and head for the bay...Ha Long Bay to be exact. Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a bay full of beautiful limestone islands. We took a 3 hour bus ride east to the bay and got on a cute boat for our overnight tour.

Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves. We got to go wandering through one. We also got to kayak around for a short period however it was a bit scary with these huge ships so close around us. We also docked and went up the to the top of one of the islands to get a better view. What a site! Finally we anchored and was nestled in between several islands for the night.

Hola, Glad your having a fun time, you look great by the way. I have to admit I’m a bit jealous; I want to say good morning Vietnam. Oh, well. Have a blast.
