Today we joined a 2 day cruise of Halong Bay, 2.5 hours drive from Hanoi. The bay has around 2000 islands of various sizes and almost that many cruise boats sailing between them. We swam at a small beach on Titop Island, named after a Russian diplomat who supported the North in their fight against the USA and the south. The water was very warm but very murky from all the soil that gets washed down into the bay whenever it rains. We then visited a huge limestone cave that goes hundreds of metres back into the mountain. Quite spectacular! The day finished with drinks and snacks on the deck as we watched the sun set. Our next adventure, after dinner, is squid fishing! I should add that we were served little squids as part of our lunch today.

After all that, all that’s left is to sit and watch the sunset over drinks and snacks
