An Independent Trip To Northern Thailand & Vietnam, Part Nine: A Day Around Hạ Long Bay Then Back To Hanoi, 21 March 1996

We’ve visited a fair few beautiful places in the world. Hạ Long Bay is well up there with the most stunning.

This is another of those days when the words in my log are few, the photographs many and really you don’t need many words:

Stunning scenes on Hạ Long Bay, headline picture, above and below.
Health & Safety had not got started, let alone gone mad at that grotto
Inside (above) and outside (below) the grotto

Went on a cruise at Hạ Long Bay on “Yellow Dragon” boat – misty but pleasant – went to “new grotto” [i.e. newly discovered in 1996] – very slippery climb due to mist– went into grotto etc. Super lunch on boat – then long drive back to Hanoi. Overnight in Royal Hotel

Lunch on the boat, me & Thung (above), then return journey to Hanoi pictures (below)

We took more pictures that that! All the pictures from the North Vietnam segment of our trip can be seen on this Flickr album – click here or below.
