Kayaking, swimming on the beach. learning how to make Vietnamese spring rolls and after dinner squid fishing.
Let your imagination get carried away, discuss what fun things you've experienced.


This place is beautiful. My room has a view that is spectacular. Our cruise ship is just the right size for slipping around the grand outcroppings of rock that rise like untouched fortresses in the sea. Lush green clings to the steep limestone and the bay is a turquoise dream. I can handle a couple of days and nights here.

I took so many lovely photographs!

Kayaking in warm, calm water was so very different from Antarctic... are you sure we're still on the same planet! The icebergs have been replaced with rocky mounds piled with lush greens.

Swimming in this water is FINE. I could float away. End credits rolling.

We even got to try our hand at making Vietnamese spring rolls. Mine taste better than they look... just saying. More a spring dump than a roll.

Squid fishing. Now that was an experience. We even got eat one that we caught... after they cooked it, of course.

Legends of Hanh Cave


Some do say, that in Halong Bay
three women lost their way
Stories told, from the very bold
their lives, into the walls did fold.
So captured by the beauty, enraptured
tides swept in and their lives were fractured
The stories rave about Hanh Cave,
But take care, it's your soul you must save.
