Vietnam Trip - Day 6 Halong Bay

Today, we would be taking a 4 hours drive to Halong Bay, Vietnam most scenic sight, a recognized World Natural Heritage Site.

At about noon, we reached our destination and boarded the Phoenix Cruise , which is a wooden junk-like boat for a cruise around the beautiful limestone seascape. Lunch was served with a welcome drink.

The kids were so excited that they immediately explored the boat, the deck, the captain's cabin, the rooms etc. Now, they say, this is even better than spending a night on the train to Sapa!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After lunch, we visited the Amazing Cave which boasted some rare shapes of Buddha, turtles, finger, sword etc.

We enjoyed a pre-dinner fruit platter and red wine. After that, is was delicious seafood dinner which my father couldn’t help taking pictures of. Yum!

After dinner, it was free and easy time. Some enjoyed the night breeze on the decks, chatting, drinking wine or beer. We walked around and after that, all of us cramped into one room, to play UNO and Memory game. Even the grandparents enjoyed themselves.
