Unterschiedlicher hätte unser Grüppchen für die Halong Bay Tour nicht sein können. 2 Saudis, ein Geschäftsmann aus den Komoren, 3 irische Partytouristen und wir.
So machten wir uns auf die 4 stündige Busfahrt von Hanoi zur Halong Bay. Am Hafen angekommen stiess dann noch ein deutscher Backpacker hinzu und es konnte losgehen zu unserem Schiff, welches auf dem Meer auf uns wartete. DortRead more
Für zwei Tage haben wir uns auf die weniger besuchte Insel Cat Ba begeben. Heute haben wir dann eine Bootstour von hier aus unternommen, die uns zuerst zur Halong Bucht führte.
Dort angekommen sind wir 1,5 Stunden mit dem Kayak durch die Karstlandschaft gefahren und haben die einzigartige Atmosphäre und die Stille dort genossen! 😍
Via vores hostel i Hanoi, Flipside Hostel, bookede vi en “Chillout Tour” til Ha Long Bay. Vi blev hentet på hostellet tidligt om morgenen, hvorefter vi kørte til Ha Long Bay, og fik anvist vores båd. Båden i sig selv var ganske fornem. Den fælles spisesal var virkelig fin, med sjove bartendere, hvide duge på bordene samt den perfekte udsigt der altid var. Værelserne var små, men daRead more
Henrik Surland OlsenMinder lidt scener fra "man with the golden gun". Flot bugt og fine billeder.
A mellett hogy gyonyorkodhetsz az obol csodalatos sziklaiban, a hajout tartalmazott 2 kis kirandulast is, ezek kozul az elso a helyi uszo falu meglatogatasa volt. Atszalltunk egy kisebb motoros hajora ami kivitt minket a "kozpontba", innen mentunk tovabb 6szemelyes, kezi hajtasu bambuszjarganyokkal.
A kambodzsaihoz kepest ez a vizi falu rendezettebbnek tunt, es a hazak is stabilabbak, rendesRead more
The afternoon excursion takes us into the primitive floating fishing village where over 100 people still live today on bare basics.
Their houses float on large empty drums, they have no running water and electricity. They share a generator between a couple of homes for lights at night.
These people are born here, grow up, grow old here and die here.
On the one hand they have the most peacefulRead more
Learned to make Vietnamese spring rolls!
Isabel was pretty good at it, I sucked as my spring rolls kept breaking. I put it down to the fact that I was barely able to get my hands into the plastic gloves. I did not have the full range of motion with my hands hence I will try this again at home where I can do It with bare hands.

We dragged ourselves out of bed for a sunrise and Tai Chi class on the deck.
From the tiger to eagle pose we did it all. Not really the most intense workout I have ever had, I did not even break a sweat in the 15 minute workout.
However we can not complain about the venue and scenery!

Isabel and I just had an argument about seawater vs freshwater pearls yesterday and here we are visiting an actual seawater pearl farm. 😜
Seeing the process helps me understand why these pearls are so expensive.
Basically every oyster can only produce one pearl in their lifetime as the oyster has to be killed to harvest the pearl.
A pearl is formed if an oyster gets a grain of sand or a rockRead more
Martie Van der WesthuizenLieflike string grys perels wat Isabel aangepas het!! Sou dit baie geniet het het!!!
Presentation wins!! We started off with a potato soup, which was very tasty. Then we had a pineapple turnip and coriander salad for the table, garnished with a flower cut out of a red pepper- I loved this it was so refreshing. Today I mentioned that I don't eat fish (due to my fussiness). Me and Cathy got a beef stir fry which was really good, the pork and chicken for the table was all a bitRead more
We visited the Thien Canh Son cave (Heaven caves) which has only recently been turned into a tourist site.
The cave was recently discovered by a fisherman looking for freshwater. He found another fisherman family living in this cave. Hard to believe that as little as 10 years ago there was people living here, almost like prehistoric cave men.
The beach on the little islet is also a gem and aRead more
