Ha Long Bay

Our mini bus arrived nice and early at 7,30am, and we headed off towards Ha Long Bay. We had to wake up at 6 for breakfast up in the bar so we could eat before we left.

The bus took quite a while, and we ended up arriving in the harbour at 11 a.m., after going for quite a while. Our boat was at 12, so we had to wait for a little bit. We thought the harbour would have some snacks, but they had very little available, so that was a pain.

The accommodation is insane. A floating collecting of buildings in the middle of nowhere. Practically silent, the place is a perfect end to our trip. 2 days of relaxation in the sun.

On the first evening, a load of us took a swim in the dark. The water was full of bioluminesence, making it seem like we were swimming through the stars. It was so much fun. The food was pretty similar but still nice. We took a journey in one of the kayaks around the island next to us.

We didn't actually do nuch, but it was good. A nice final few days.Read more
