Perla Dawn Sails

This morning Malcolm and Geoff woke up at 6:15 to do tai chi on the top deck with our friends Grace Joe and Harry. After that, we had breakfast in the dawn restaurant. While everyone else was going kayaking we got shipped off to another boat called the V’Spirit. On the boat we got a welcome drink 🍹 and we explored the boat. Their were three floors. Floor 1 had the restaurant and bathrooms. Floor 2 had the Captains corner, the games room with cards a tangrams game and a front deck. Floor 3 had a sunbathing area. We sailed through Halong bay and I even got to steer the ship. After about an hour and a half of sailing we arrived at an island and biked until we reached a small village (Dale took an electric car.) There we learnt about the island and why it is so healthy. We learnt that they use leaves and roots for medicine. After that we kept biking (I got in the car with Dale.) and we went to a place with 4 types of rice wine one with leaves two with roots and one with a snake body and a snake head. Geoff tried all four! The tour guide showed us how to make rice wine but the kids weren’t listening because we found 2 🐱 , 2 dogs 🐶 and 6 baby puppies 🐶 that were just born. Next we went on a hike to a cave. After the hike we all biked and drove back to the boat. We had lunch and sailed to a small bay near the South China Sea. We went kayaking through a cave and onto beaches. When we were called back the parents went swimming. Then we finally sailed back to the Perla Dawn Sails boat and went to a party on the top deck and had dinner. After dinner we went squid fishing but since their were no squid the guide said if we caught ten pieces of toxic waste we could get a free drink. Malcolm and Dale worked together and finally collected 7 plastic bags, (one had water in it so it was super heavy) 1 granola bar wrapper, 1 plastic strip and 1 banana peel with half a rotten banana inside. They should have only gotten one drink to share but they made a mistake and they each got a drink (lemon juice.) Talk to you soon, MalcolmRead more
