Tag: Haiphong

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:

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

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.

This was one of those picturesque travelling days, for which I wrote few words but for which the pictures can say far more than words ever could.

Breakfast then off to Highway Five towards Haiphong – stopped in Tongs [Hải Dương?] Province for tea and green bean cake – then on to Haiphong for lunch and then looked at communal house (Hang Kenh) and on to Hạ Long Bay via ferries etc.

Stayed in Hạ Long West – took the ferry to Hạ Long East for a walk before dinner and early night
