Early start to visit Surprise cave this morning . A very cavernous system of caves that have paved and lit for the hundreds of tourists that go through there each day. Was pretty interesting and spectacular and a great way to finish off our time in Halong Bay.

We got lucky too with being able to share this experience with a great group of people and had a few laughs last night. A couple of Aussie sisters from Perth and heaps of poms.

The 4 hr bus ride back was pretty good with a short stop half way.

Was so glad we spent the extra $$ and went on a quality boat too. Highly recommend Glory Luxury cruise boat.

We got back to our hotel and have got a different room with a balcony this time. Slightly bigger too .

Had dinner and had time for another massage. At $15 for both of us including a tip for an hour how can you go past it. Think we can sneak another in tomorrow before we leave.

Another highly recommend Van Xuen massage
