Tam Coc

Tam coc is said to be the halong bay of central Vietnam and it does deserve the name! It‘s a beautiful landscape full of carst mountains and rivers, making every ride a scenic experience. The village itself is very touristy (wirh a good backpacker scene) but was still enjoyable. We decided for the least popular boat tour of the three available in the area and it was lovely (and yes, they are rowing you around with their feet). Unfortunately, we could not do the (said-to-be) most scenic boat tour as Alinas cold became worse :( and once in tam coc one has ro visit the dragon viewpoint for sunset - as seen in the picture we were not the only ones with that idea :) glad noone for hurt or fell down!
Still a very nice place to be and kick back your feet with good food and good beer (and awful drinks, but that was to be expected in backpacker bars ;)).Read more
