Halong Bay

Halong BayOdd looking limestone formation in caves at Halong BayPaula and I took an overnight trip out to Halong Bay on Sunday to see what it is all about. It turns out to be a magical bay full of limestone karsts. A beautiful place indeed. They surround you as far as the eye can see in every direction. Our trip was onboard a beautiful Junk called the Santa Maria. It had 8 rooms, each with a bathroom and air con! Not that we needed air con, it was pretty dreary and cool but did not rain, thank goodness. Anyhow, it was a wonderful way to spend a night. Next day we got up, I went kayaking and swimming while Paula rested (she was feeling a little sick from a cold that won't give up). By afternoon we were back on our way to Hanoi for Christmas Eve..
