Even Halong Bay seems like a lifetime ago now, but it was such an amazing place, we can remember it like it was yesterday. We started off our trip to Halong Bay, by spending a couple of nights in Hanoi (the capital of Vietnam). As our train had been delayed leaving Hoi An, we didn't end up arriving until well after dark.
