After another overnight train ride from Sapa, followed by a 3 1/2 hour drive from Hanoi, we arrived in the famous Halong Bay - another World Heritage site with 1,969 picturesque rocky islands. As you can see from the photo, the weather is misty, adding a mysterious air to the bay. The highlight of the afternoon was a kayak trip off our beautiful but modern junk, exploring several caves in the limestone formations and enjoying the peacefulness of the area.
