Wednesday 27th April We arrive down to reception for 7.30am sharp.People start appearing and we eventually leave at 8.45am.Everything about this country is unorganised..Every person tells you a different thing.It's so frustrating!!We get to Halong Bay Harbour at 11.30am then we are told this bus will be leave at 12noon.ANOTHER LIE.We wait until 12.40pm and they send a bus too small.Hen and I have to hang out the bus door.Luckily we are only going for lunch 10m...
