Halong Bay Junk
This is a picture to give you an idea of what the boat we were on looked like. It had three decks. Lots of cabins. It may not have been as nicely appointed as this one. I’m not sure as I didn’t get to go on this one to look. No problem, ours was good enough.
Me at Ha Long Bay
It’s early in the morning in Ha Long Bay. If anyone else is up, they aren’t letting anyone else know about it. It’s so early I can’t even find a cup of coffee. So I go up on deck and take in the sight of all of the junks anchored in the bay. Amazing! In the mist of the morning it all strikes me as a little surreal. Then I see the picture and the sea gull circling me. How strange…
Ha Long Bay – Coming Back
This is a shot from the boat of the stragglers coming back to the boat from out kayakinbg adventure. You can get a good idea of the scenery. Not bad, huh? But why spoil it with words?
Kayaking Ha Long Bay
Here is a group meeting we had while we were in out Kayaks in Ha Long Bay. The guy on the left is Viet, one of the tour guides. He is giving us a talk about feeding the monkeys that live on the limestone islets that you see in the backgound. The area we were in was only accessible by paddling though an opening in the rock. We were completely surrounded by the limestone formations. It was like being in our own little world. Ha Long Bay must be one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
Bar on Board
This is the very nice bar on board the junk that took us out to Ha Long Bay. It’s not very crowded now. We just got here. It isn’t happy hour, yet. Wait till later…
On Board
This is the group with whom I went to Ha Long Bay. We are getting ready for our orientation meeting. We had a lot of fun. All the young people got to drink lots of cheap alcohol and get really loud. What a fun group!
