I survived!! 10 instead of 13 hrs we arrived in this little crazy place! Spent one night here and then went on a tour of some caves in Ha Long bay aboard a very nice floating hotel sort of thing! We spent the night on the boat and good food, adn the best part was that there was proper wine,my first wine here, i have missed it,there is only so much beer one can drink, but it will ulas be my last as its bloody expensive, well the same price as at home which equals very expensive over here!! especially when a big bottle of beer is like 40p or less!!! it was stunning as we saw little islands the weather was really misty but it added a,magivcal feel to it!!
