Halong Bay trip

Spent the last three days/two nights on a cruise junk in Halong Bay. This is the most popular tourist destination in Vietnam.

On the first day, we had a tour of a floating village, conducted in small boats powered by standing oar women. One tour stop was under a natural arch.



Closer view of some karst formation hills, viewed from our junk.



We kayaked through two caves to get to this isolated lagoon.


Here are two photos of the most interesting food so far - fried sea mantis. Here are four on a plate :




And here is one, with praying apparatus extended.



Finally , a photo of our luxury junk. Four of the biking 16 couldn't join us, so the remaining twelve have had this boat to ourselves.
