After our 9 hour overnight train ride back from Sa Pa, we drove the 4 hours for our 2 day cruise on Halong Bay.  It is a one of the 7 wonders of the modern world and quite amazing even in the rain & cloudy weather.  There are almost 2000 islands in the Bay.  Pictures don’t do it justice.

Kayaking was great and Jodilyn (our Trainer) would be proud.  Limestone caves are abundant with one particularly large one very interesting.  Cruise “junks” abound as do the large crowds exploring the caves.
