Loved waking up on a boat this morning. Could not recommend Halong bay enough if you're coming to Vietnam. Absolutely beautiful. We went on a tour of the surprise cave today which was truly stunning although the government guide that was provided may have lied when he said only 120 steps given there's was over 200 just to get into it It was worth the thigh pain though. The view you get at the end of the cave experience over the bay was breathtaking. I promise i will upload the pictures when i get back. Just on the coach now going back to Hanoi for a spot of shopping before we board the overnight train. Totally in love with this country!
