A fun day, the morning takes us to the Surprise Grotto, a cave with impressive stalactites and stalagmites and the afternoon a bike ride from the port to the village of Cat Ba where we see the organic farming and young school children attending school.

 We are on standby for return to port, as a China storm/wind is supposedly coming, however it never came, so the day finished with a swim, overlooked by the grand peaceful limestone karsts and isles - relaxation 5 star!!
