Indochina Discovery: Halong Bay, Vietnam

2/10/2011

The sleeper train took us to Hanoi at around 4am.. I was sooo tired! Then we had another 4 hour bus journey to Halong bay! The most uncomfortable bus ride so far!

Anyway, when we got to the hotel, we went back to sleep and left at 12pm to ride through Halong bay on our junk boat. It was actually really nice and we had a seafood dinner on it. (Too bad I don't like seafood!!)

We rode around and stopped off at a fishermans bit where Will kayaked. We also went to some caves and walked around inside them - very slippery as wet!

Came back to the hotel and had a coffee by the beach then walked to the supermarket and down to the markets.

Dinner later on was EXTORTIONATE!! Do not go to a place called Emerald or something! All I wanted was a sandwich which cost 135000 dong and they throw a 15% service and VAT charge on top!! We were not happy!

Anyway time to die in my bed - still ILL :( Hanoi tomorrow! :)
