Today was our trip to halong, after we all checked out of our hotel we jumped in the bus and headed out to the bay. Our bus took around 4 hours but we had a fairly nice set up and managed to play euchre all the way there. Once there we got shuffled around the crowds to our boat - we jumped on settled down and by the time it had backed out the harbour we were being served lunch. This was pretty cool as it was all separate dishes that you helped yourself to and...

Part of the journey took us along a section of mountain which was amazing and the journey gave us loads of amazing scenery to look at.
