Ha Long Bay, picturesque and breathtaking..... overcrowded and full of garbage.  The scenery was beautiful but the overwhelming number of tourists and all they leave behind was less than ideal.  We went on an amazing treck through Cat Ba National Forrest and saw some of the biggest spiders ever!! The Beach (III) was perfect even though our tandum-bike was stolen and we had to pay to get it back..... We even danced the night away with our fellow travelers and tour guide at a local disco tech, crazy!!
