Ha Long Bay

Just got back from 3 days on the coast of Vietnam. Ha Long Bay is like no other place I have ever been. Hundreds of huge limestone rocks jutting 300 feet straight up out of the bay. Many covered in lush greenery.

I was there with a little tour and we spent the first day and a half on a big wooden sailing boat with a big deck and vietnamese lounge chairs on the roof. We spent lots of time sailing around the bay, checking out a huge cave, and swimming in the bay. I was quite content to sit up in the sun and breaze as we navigated the bay and read my book: Cider House Rulesby John Irving.
