... andring pa, med sylvassa stener och berg, upp och ner for tokbranta backar sa blev det en halvtuff vandringa pa ett par timmar. <br><br> Inte sa mycket mer att saga om vandringen, lunch utspisades i en by och darifran var det en stracka pa 5 km som skulle marchars tills vi kom fram till hamnen dar en bat skulle hamta upp oss. <br> Resan fran hamnen ...

... away and as expected the seafood was amazing. We were surprised to be greeted by the Junk boat cat at our feet and once everyone at our table had left we cheekily fed him the left over shrimp heads, which he happily crunched away at. <br>We sailed through Halong Bay and despite the hundreds of postcard pictures we had already seen, nothing prepared us for the real experience. It was stunning, with the sun shimmering on the flat ocean and the huge ...

... in the whole trip! Once we'd settled in we went back up for lunch and to meet some of the other people who were on the junk with us. We were the only 2 singletons on board and were probably the youngest too! But that didn't matter.<br><br>We were served a sea food lunch as we made our way through Halong Bay itself. I wish I could think of words to describe the place that would or could do it justice. It is on a shortlist to be one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world, and if ...

We did a walk to the peak of the mountain in Cat Ba national park or the climb shall i say as we had to go up some big rocks, muddy paths etc..it was fun! We also rented 2 motor bike for the day and i had great fun driving it for the first time. This made a big difference actually as we had more freedom to move about, we even saw a spitting cobra on ...

... some fish element! everything was gorgeous. after a while we all went to bed to be ready for the day ahead!<br>8:30 am on wednesday after breakfast we took the boat to cat ba island. we walked 6km to the village of vet hai and began our 1km climb up navy peak. it was extremely hard for me , my thighs gave me terrible grief and i suddenly realised half way up that i was ridiculously unfit!! mark had to really encourage me to go on as i had reached the wall!!! i slowly but surely ...

So here we are and it has to be said - "Good Morning Vietnam" Sorry for the cliche but we had arrived in Hanoi. City of 3.5 million scooters apparently! The roads are totally crazy, you just have to start out at a steady pace, keep going till you get to the other side and they'll avoid you - the scooters that is, it's not worth taking the chance with anything bigger! Sounds scary and it is but it works and it's the only way to cross the road.<br>Hanoi is a ...

Jumped on the minibus at 7:30AM for the ride to the coast. We boarded our boat just before lunch and cruised around Halong Bay for about 24 hours. For the first few hours Garret and I were joined by a group of older (50s) Spanish tourists who were nice enough, but not really who we were hoping to spend our time with. They jumped ship on Cat Ba Island for the night and a group of 9 younger travelers ...
