Nikki's World Travels
So we headed for Halong Bay which is a cluster of about 1000 islets - very beautiful and we were very lucky with the weather too. unfortunately the organisation of the trip was a lil chaotic but that is vietnam for you. So we got on the boat and chilled on the deck then went to some caves - the guide kept on pointing out images in the rocks which me and kate were not gettin at all - the only one image we could recognize was the giant sticking out rock in the shape of a penis (well it had a bright red light on it for chirst sake so what esle were we to think it was!!) So after the caves we went in some kayaks in another lil cove place with lots of lil jelly fish in the water - good job we werent swimming in that part. On the boat were some other brits - one girl happened to be from havant - small world! So we spent the evening on the deck, drinkin a couple of beers and watching the shooting stars then we headed back down to the cabin to find that a rat had climbed onto kate's bed and nibbled part of her bag so while i sat on my bed with my feet curled up kate looked around to find the culprit but it wasnt to be seen anyway so just had to not think about it and go to sleep! The next day we swam some more and jumped and dove off the side of the boat - i had to make sure my bikini was in place before i came up to the surafce though!
We headed back to hanoi and stopped for lunch and i went to get some water from this cafe and i wanted cahnge so i gave her a 50,000 note but she wasnt happy with this so shuffed her hand into my walled pulled out my money and took the right change - i was so in shock that i just stood there and mouthed off in english and any other language i could think off - stupid bint!
That night we headed out with christy and gerry for some pizza then got the night train to Hue - we shared a cabin with 2 swedes who just slept the whole time so felt my stuff was safe even though i slept with my money belt on as have heard some bad stories from the trains but so far ive been lucky!
so its good night from vietnam!!
love me
