Halong Bay

We had planned to take an overnight trip here, but because of our delay in booking it, we decided to take just the day trip. It was an experience! 3 hrs in the van each way and the AC was NOT to US standards, but we survived! We even had quite a few laughs among ourselves.

Once we were on the boat, the fun REALLY began. We were just getting started....when we hit another boat! It was a slow impact and there wasn't much damage, if any. The problem was when we back away from the boat, we hit ANOTHER! That one we did damage. Broken boards on the other boat...NOT good! We joked with the other couple we traveled with because the dad is an insurance agent...for boats! LOL

The caves were hot and there were A LOT of steps to get them, especially when you are carrying 18lbs of baby attached to yourself! We were so happy to get back on the boat. Unfortunately, the AC that was advertised, wasn't really present and the fans that were there didn't work. We survived though and did enjoy our day.

Time to pack...we leave tomorrow!
