HaLong Bay trip




























We took a two day trip to HaLong Bay. It is 3,000 islands of dolomite and limestone. It was absolutely gorgeous. The Chinese Junk Boat trip was an adventure, though. We also visited some amazing caves.


I had read that Asians will pay special attention to Western-looking children. This has been true and even a bit crazy. As we were visiting the caves, we were swarmed by a Chinese tourist group. They insisted that all of them take a picture with us. They wouldn't let us leave. It was like being famous---craziness and cameras flashing everywhere!
