    Day 4

    Ha Long Bay

    July 6, 2023 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    At eight o'clock in the morning the bus picks us up directly in front of the hotel. The journey from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay takes just over 3 hours.
    On the way we make a stop at an institution that offers people with a handicap an education and a job. During covid the institution had to close for 3 years and nobody cared about the people.
    We are in a communist country and it is important to support such places.

    Around noon we arrive at the port of Ha Long. Our boat is simple but comfortable. The food is good.
    Some enjoy kayaking or hiking. I stay on the boat and enjoy the sounds of birds and animals, the incredible environment.

    We stay 1 night and then go back to Hanoi tomorrow.    Read more
