... is doing and make each slice of the pie just a little bit smaller. The other thing that we'd noticed is that while walking past hotels with our big backpacks on, hotel staff would badger us to come and stay at our hotel. This happens in every city, but ...

... if you stay here that the bathroom fixtures are very basic, luckily we spotted the problem before it flooded the room! There are other hotels that can be booked as part of the Ha Long Bay package so might be worth spending a little bit extra to get a ...

... . The streets were quaint and cozy. And although there were few tourists here, there were still quite a few hotels. Life seemed a whole lot simpler on Cat Ba. Our hotel was absolutely gorgeous as well. Despite having to haul our luggage up five stories ...

Lors de notre traversée en direction de Cat ba, nous voguons à nouveau dans la baie d'Ha long, à la différence majeure que sur cette « route » la baie s'offre pleinement à nous car nous ne croisons pour ainsi dire que quelques pêcheurs ...

... ridiculous to have taken so long as the distance can’t be more than 5 or 6 hundred kilometres.  Viewed  3 dodgy hotels before  finally finding one that looked like it was clean, had hot water and WiFi and would do for a few ...
