We are just back from an amazing visit to Halong Bay. A 3 hour bus journey took us
to Halong City where we joined a traditional Junk boat for an overnight cruise on
the bay. We sailed amongst the limestone Karsts (very tall narrow islands). Had dinner,
fished from the boat and relaxed on a beach. My personal achievement was a climb of
400 steps to a viewing point on one of the islands. A special one, that Ho Chi Minh
visited - but he took the easy route to the top by landing in a helicopter.
