Halong Bay - A traveller's paradise : Thursday 10th April

This morning we said goodbyes to the departing group members. We then made our way to Halong Bay. Everyone is super excited! Halong Bay is a world heritage site and it lived up to its status. We all had mouths wide open when they pulled out the red carpet for us to step onto our private junk. We had no idea that we would be spending the day and night on a cruise! Our boat was immaculate and the views were incredible. We were provided with a feast of fresh vegetables and fruit for lunch and then we sat back on the top back and admired all the rocks and passing boats.

Late afternoon we went to visit a cave. It was huge inside and quite eerie. The light looked fascinating and it was really like something out of a fantasy film. For the rest of the evening we cruised and enjoyed our private junk and another feast for dinner. Some games in the evening and lots of laughs before a lovely peaceful sleep on shore. No cockerels or barking dogs: bliss.
