Halong Bay

On Sunday we took a 3-hour shuttle from Hanoi to Halong Bay, where we began an overnight cruise of this famous Unesco World Heritage Site. We took a short excursion into a cave on one of the islands and kayaked past soaring rock formations and floating villages. When we got back to the boat at sunset, we jumped from the top deck into the warm bay below. This morning we took a leisurely cruise back though more stunning rock formations and the drive back to Hanoi. We have tickets to the Water Puppet Theatre tonight (a 1000 year old tradition), and we leave tomorrow morning for Laos.
