Halong Bay

On Saturday, November 15, we said "bye" to Hanoi and headed on a 3-hour drive to Halong Bay, a landscape of almost 2,000 limestone islands dotting the waters. Once there, we boarded our private junk (the four of us, plus our guide, and a crew of four) and started cruising the bay. Unfortunately, photographically, the skies were overcast, so getting good lighting was difficult. Also, although we had the option of stopping at an island and exploring a cave, or kayaking, we were tired and opted to rest on board and just cruise around to islands. Lunch and dinner were served on board, and we slept anchored between islands.
