Been completely out of the loop for the last couple of days...sailing around Halong bay in a junk! I don't have time to tell you much about it as we have to get ready to head out into the mountains in North Vietnam for a few days but then we are intending to have a day of contacting people proper and catching up on loads of photos and stories so for the moment these few pics will have to do.
Needless to say the bay was astounding. It was far beyond anything we could have dreamed of and we spent 2 days and 1 night sailing, kyaking and swimming in the sea nad 1 night and 1 day hiking and staying in a hotel on Cat Ba island in the middle of the bay.
Oh yeah...we might have hired a couple of motorbikes out to cruise around the island on for the evening! 4 of us went, us and another couple and we all had a bike each which meant Lou had to learn to ride a bike with gears for the first time, on the road, on the wrong side of the road, in traffic in the dark!! We had a blast and are home safe and sound to tell the tale...roll on the next time!!
Photos looking amazing as usual.. the boat at the bottom looks like a pirate ship!!! is it??
ReplyDeleteeven the 3 little guys on the front look like pirates.

Hope to see all the new pictures soon.
Have fun and keep safe

Hey Dad and Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThank you for birthday wishes, i was in Nha Trang in a mud bath for my birthday ! And spent the night on a bus to Saigon where i am now.
Dad the next thing you have got to do is download Skype off the internet and then we can call you for free from any where in the world. You will need some sort of headset device to connect to your computer tho! We have just got it going and it is great, but not all places have got it here, but aussie will make life easier for that. Love you lots .
Lou xxxx
