BaBe National Park

Our second tour departing from hanoi was BaBe national park. The drive there was....slightly terrifying. The speed the driver was going at felt like my insides would pop out of my mouth at any point. The roads are not smooth either so it was bumpy journey which would send ya off ya seat into the air ever so slightly. Luckily there was seat belts! Anyway we arrived at this...well...what looked like a nature reserve. Interestingly and unexpectedly people lived here! It was way out in the sticks and it didn't look like they had very much other then crops, animals ranging from chickens to dogs to goats and a lake. The views were nice from the homestay we slept at. We did the boat trip which took us into a cave. It was a huge cave and was pretty cool. In one bit you could hear the squeeking of bats as they rest above our heads. It was quite scary and I was a bit jumpy at the prospect of them flying down in a pact and swarming all of over. Though would be cool if a bite from a bat could turn me into a vampire (my long life dream! Lol).Read more
