It's been a funny old day really. Took the bus to Halong Bay. Booked a ticket in a boat, took a glorious tour around the bay and watched the sunset etc. Intended to spend the night on the boat but... My Spanish travelling companion wasn't 100% satisfied with the accommodation and.... Well to cut a long story short, ended up in a hostel on Cat Ba island. The absolute details are unimportant but it was mutually agreed that we wouldn't be catching the same boat back. Our Mediterranean cousins are not afraid of expressing their feelings.
As Top Gear fans may reacall, Halong Bay is a terrifically tranquil place. Normally.
If this isn't the most beautiful place in the world, it'll do until the most beautiful place shows up.
Looks pretty cool - is there a Holiday Inn nearby?
