Leaving Hanoi we jumped on a bus from our hotel to Ha Long…about a 4 hr drive…then onto our boat which had six separate cabins…..
Th food was beautiful…
The company was pretty good….ish
And the views….Ha Long Bay, beautiful one day…..
Rainy the next…
A lot undecided, the captain finally got news..after much lightning and thunder that we could continue to the island we were staying on for a night….cannot remember it’s name…embarrassing….fabulous cruise on a smaller boat…to a bus…to another boat…to an island….great views through Bai Tu Long Bay
Making friends on the way…
and some dinner once we arrived…
After our night and some crazy rice spirit…back to the mainland!
Back to Hanoi for a clean up and dinner on the streets….a train ride overnight to Dong Hoi and bus trip to Phong Nha Farm Stay.
