The magnificence of Halong Bay

This was couple of days ago but the beautiful and captivating limestone formation is just so blog-worthy. The trip was for four hours and it cost me forty bucks. All is worth. Meals are amazing. Coaches are comfortable minus the weak air-conditioning. The first time we boarded the so-called junk, I can't get enough. I started taking endless photos. Met fine people from Germany, France and UK. They're friendly and we exchanged travel stories while enjoying the view with few beers. Kayaking in the afternoon. My English partner doesn't know how to and we became a laughing stock of Vietnamese kids. Woke up early to see the sunrise and it was just too amazing. It's a view that definitely worth paying for. But all good thing co we to an end. Stayed for two days and a night. Went back to Hanoi and ate in a fine do ing Japanese restaurant called Sakura Saigon. And had a nice sleep with Simpsons on the background.
