On our way to Halong Bay

Today we are leaving for Halong Bay but our morning did not start well. As mentioned we had to change rooms last night due to loss of power. We hoped our room, where we left our luggage, would be light enough to pack a few things for the Halong Bay trip. Due to the early start andovercast sky it was still too dark, so we basically dumped our clothes etc in bags so we could move everything to the other room. Then we had to sort everything, out items to take, items to leave. We had 1 hour for shower, breakfast and packing. I really do not like packing in a hurry as you always forget something, lets hope I did not, we will find out when we are on the boat.
