Day 130 – Vietnam

February 12, 2010 – Cat Ba Island, Vietnam

Eric and I wake up excited and eager for the day – we are going to via boat to Halong Bay, a World UNESCO site.

The weather is still cold – apparently it always drops during Tet – but we don’t let it dampen our spirits.

Halong Bay is absolutely stunning and we have a fantastic time. We putter around between the numerous islands on our boat, pass local fishermen and check out some spectacular caves.



For lunch we have an amazing feast of grilled fish, steamed clams, jicama salad, spring rolls, fried tofu, sliced cucumbers and steamed rice.


And to finish the trip off, we hop in a kayak and check out some of the smaller bays and inlets – it’s a great adventure.


All and all we have a fantastic day!

We wrap it up by having a nice dinner and a few laughs with some of the people from our boat.
