Thursday : sunny Extremely late leaving the hotel today. After 12:00, not sure why. Anyways with no breakfast included in our $200 per night room, and them charging $20 per person for breakfast, we went looking for a place that was doing lunch instead because it was no longer breakfast time anyway. We had to walk around for a while before we found anything. Middle of the city, it was lunch time, people rushing around, pushing others out of their way. There were...

Wednesday : sunny Well todays the day, day 32, our last day in Vietnam, well half day really. Upsetting it was here already. It's been another Incredible experience to say the least. North or South?

Sunday : sunny Did not what to wake up this morning. Way too early. We had breakfast back at the bamboo place that's three meals in a row there. Afterwards they took Kim and I to our kayak. The plan for the day was to find an empty beach. The beaches close to Cat Ba town were over crowded. Well there was one beach that was empty, but it was kept private for a resort. No public access. It was fun paddling around the islands out on the ocean. We stopped at th...
