All aboard . . .

Arrived 5am ish at hanoi and walked back to the hostel and got booked onto our halong bay junk boat plus refund for cutting our last tour short.

Bus trip at 8.30am to halong bay after of course a white baguette breakfast. We boarded our boat and had dinner, which was all meat and seafood, not so great for me, so I got some veg.

We went kayaking round the islands and at the end attached our kayak(they were doubles) to the two barcelona guys kayak and went exploring the questionable caves(basically big holes in the islands). good arm work out for half an hour!

Trip to the three big caves, inside one named by me the c*** cave' was a huge naturally formed rock in the shape of a penis with red lights highligting the effect! The 3rd cave was massive inside, as we went straight from kayak to cave we had no camera and I was the only one walking round bare foot in my bikini, so probably a good job no camera.

Back on the boat we jumped off the top deck into the sea lots of time loosing my bikini everytime. Great fun.

Showers followed by tea, again a repeat of seafood and meat plus eggs. So when I asked for me they had no vegetables left, fab. So my options were bland noodles, rice or chips. Good job I weren't hungry, but they brought me a bit egg out so you know I just cracked on drinking the whisky I'd snuck on board.

A wee bit kareoke, foot and leg massage and basically just chilling with again a good crowd. Hearing stories such as one couple got the bus from laos to hanoi and the girls bag got peed on so she had to chuck everything.

Our kareoke got turned off early and we all hit the sack just after 10ish, I thnk all the sunshine had made us all a bit weary. So back in the cabin I massaged lauras thighs as they have been killing her since the sappa trek.xx
