Ha Long Bay

Today we took the long bus ride to Ha Long Bay where we boarded a wooden boat called Secret Halong. We enjoyed a nice cruise on the bay, although there were many (most Chinese filled) boats cruising alongside us. We took the small boat we trailed behind to Sung Sot cave. It was pretty spectacular with lots of stalagmites & stalactites. We then got back aboard our tender boat & watched the sunset. Our dinner back aboard the Secret Halong was beautifully presented! We slept on board the boat on our own private cabin. It was quite nice, although the diesel fumes were quite strong with so many boats anchored close by.Read more
