Tam Coc

Tam Coc in Ninh Binh Province is quite a small town, still the region offers a lot of nature that can be explored, mostly by boat 🛶

Here, we explored two famous national parks: the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, which has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014 and Van Long Nature Reserve, where the Delacour’s Langur can be spotted 🐒 During our boat ride, we were so lucky that a group of langur monkeys showed up. It was so special and the best birthday present 😍

Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the Dinh and Le dynasties, was only a short ride from Tac Coc so one afternoon/night, we went to explore the place. It turned out to be a super cute town and it reminded us a bit of Hoi An. Here, we visited the temples, explored the night market and took a boat ride on the river 🛕🏮

The other days, we rested to recover from the hand-foot-and-mouth disease that we caught, relaxed by the pool, enjoyed our last spring rolls and fruit juices 🍉

We were sad to leave Vietnam. We really liked our time here and we were amazed by how much the country has to offer. The people are so friendly and there is just so much to see and do 😊
It was time for our next adventure though and we were very excited and happy to start our Philippines trip by visiting Oli, Antoine's uncle, in Boracay 😍Read more
