Halong Bay (Katy)
We left the hotsel in Hanoi at about 7.15am to catch our bus to Halong bay. Of course they didn't tell us that the bus wasn't actually going to leave until 8.30am, so as usual, lots of waiting around. The bus journey was unusally uneventful and we even arrived in Halong Bay at the time we were told. That was a first.
Unfortunately it is raining here too, but the bay still looks amazing. It looks a bit like the south of Thailand, with lots of bit limestome outcrops coming straight out of the sea, but there seems to be loads more of them. I can't wait until the fog lifts and we can actually see it all properly.
Tomorrow we a going out on boat to one of the islands - Cat Ba Island - and hopefully we're going to stay there for a few days
