Famous for over 1900 islands jutting up out of the sea, Ha Long Bay is a geological and biological phenomenon. It's probably one of the most touristy places I have been to in the last few weeks as the port/pier is very busy with sightseeing boats. The day we went, Vietnam had freaky weather for the time of year in that it rained practically all day and it was a 'chilly' 20 degrees c - postively Artic conditions when you've been in +35 for a month! We were on a fantastic sailing boat though and the lunch provided really tickled the taste buds. I'm not a huge fan of crab usually but the crab they served was absolutely delicious. And the scenary was breathtaking even without the patronage of the sun. We also had time to go to one of 3 caves that have been discovered which was jaw droppingly beautiful - the pictures just cannot do it justice. Saturday, 6 June 2009
