Halong Bay, the famous Northern Vietnamese attraction sporting thousands of limestone peaks, floating villages, and islands over emarld water. We started the 3 day trip off with a 3 hour ride to the coast with our small group of companions where we boarded our junk boat for the evening. First stop was a cave hike through some stalactites and mites before loading onto our kayaks around the floating markets. Dinner was served on the boat and we sat around the deck enjoying our Vietnamese guide's guitar and singing skills. The following day was filled with hikes, beaching, jumping off boats, and hanging around Cat Ba Island, one of the only inhabited islands in the area. Our group really made the trip exciting and personal: 2 Australians, 3 Singaporians, and 2 Germans,we learned alot from each other's cultures and indulged in travel monopoly in teams by country.
