Vietnam | Halong Bay

The journey to Halong Bay was fairly uncomfortable - we were rammed into a moving tin-can with no leg room and no suspension..the latter only became apparent on the later leg of the journey...when the tarmac ran out...it was like a scene from Bill and Ted with 16 people head banging down the road!!

Unfortunately Halong Bay was pretty misty when we arrived yesterday so didn't see a great deal but woke up this morning to a clear morning..the iPhone captured picture from our junk above doesn't do it justice!

This morning we've been to Cat Ba national park and scaled a hill/small mountain. It had the rushiest observation tower ever (photos to follow), which we climbed up and instantly regretted - you'd stand on a plank and the other end would shoot up, all whilst hanging over a sheer drop down the side of a 1000m cliff!!

Anyway, currently eating lunch and then off to Monkey Island, so called as it looks like a Monkey...we'll see!!
