Cat Ba Island and Halong Bay

Train and Ferry to Cat Ba Island
This is a top pick! The ferry ride was mildly pleasant. It was 30,000 VND for locals, 70,000 for tourists. Everyone once again ignored the no smoking signs on the small vessel, so we spent the end of the trip on the deck watching the islands roll by. As ...

The Beaches of Cat Ba

Motorbike Tour of the Island

Karaoke followed by a very long day of travel!
This is a top pick! Given that there wasn't much else to do on Cat Ba Island, the group ventured out to a nearby pub for a dose of karaoke. This trip will go down as giving me a healthy dose of firsts... I had never sung in public before but gave it a go with 'Love Me ...
Island Visit
This is a top pick! Cat Ba Island is a pleasant little place just off the coast of mainland Vietnam that offers cool stuff to do like hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing. The problem was, however, that there was no one here to do any of these things with. Which ...
Rock the Cat Ba
This is a top pick! After one day in Hanoi, we were whisked away once again. Destination: Halong Bay... more specifically Cat Ba Island. We left early and endured a stuffy three hour trip in another mini-bus. Along the way, we passed by a lot of farmers and water buffalos ...

Cruising Halong Bay

Our second honeymoon

Halong Bay
This is a top pick! Talk about needing coffee! We left Hue yesterday at 3:45 in the afternoon, arrived in Hanoi via night train at 6:30am (night does not translate to sleep!!), dropped our bags at a hotel, took an overnight bag and boarded a bus for Halong Bay. 4 hours ...
Rain drops keep falling on my head...
This is a top pick! ... . We ventured down to Ha Long Bay with the Janet, Shona and Calle for a farewell cruise. They are off to the north of Vietnam for trekking and we're off to India. The only drawback is the weather. It's raining, it's pouring...you get the picture. We ...

Peace at last... in a vietnamese kind of way

Misty islands in the Bay

The sea at last!
Three days chilling on beaches and the boat in, once again, stunning scenery. Thank God Giles managed to narrowly escape a, probably rabid, monkey bite. Jane suggested it thought Giles was a gorilla intruding on its ...
Freezing but fantastic trip to Ha Long Bay
... like penguins. We also had time to kayak among the oyster farms and fishing villages, and roam through the jungle on Cat Ba Island (the largest). There are a lot of floating villages, which are fascinating to me. The first night we ...
Entrepreneurial Vietnam
"Billy Jeans is not mah luve; She just a girl say I am the one-ah" I don't know why I like Vietnam so much. Many people don’t. I’ve realised though that wherever you go, your experiences are always determined primarily by the people that you ...
Halong Bay
Peace at last (relatively speaking). We took a high speed hydrofoil to Cat Ba island and after an initial hounding by the ever present touts found it to be a good place to chill out. We did a boat trip to Halong Bay which was the main reason for being in ...
