Hello (Sing Cha!), In fact I am totally useless when it comes to Vietnamese and I am sure that's not even the right spell but is close enough. As soon as we got to Cat Ba Bay in north Vietnam I realise that place was something else, the escenery is more than espectacular and although is getting a bit colder the water is still hot enough to go for a swim. I did took as many pictures as possible of Cat Ba Bay and Halong Bay but I think they do not show the beauty of the place...anyway, my stomach is doing fine and I quite like the food here, lots of nice fresh sea food and rice, spring rolls but no chicken or eggs... I did drive a motorbike round the island, cruising the roads here is fantastic althought I've already seen a couple of nasty mortbike accidents but these people drive like mad...is like tewnty italians and twenty spaniards driving little scooters head to head on a back alley trying to get first to a football match... First night here I end up in a karaoke singing "La Bamba"...it took me few shots of rice whisky and a couple of beers but i did it...and in Vietnamese!!!...only joking...well I hope because I do not remember that much... Today we where cruising round Halong Bay, another fantastic boat trip, plenty of beautiful scenery again but you never get tired of it!! Tomorrow we will enter China (apparently the border crossing is going to be an experience itself due to strict chinese police so I will have a shave and put my best clothes on...just in case). Don't know when I will be able to upload pictures again(probably in one or two weeks time because where we go is not turistic at all and probably the keyboards on the computers will be in chinese...we'll see), althought with the amount of pictures I just download today you will probably be a bit fed up of seeing my face anyway so see you soon!!. Molts records a tots, Jordi
