Day 96 – Castaways Tour, Halong Bay.

We dropped our big bags off at the luggage room, made our way down stairs for the free breakfast and then jumped on the bus to Halong Bay just gone 8am. The trip to Halong Bay took just over 4 hours and was better than I expected. We stopped in a pottery place half way for a quick break as well.
We then got on a small boat to take us to the big boat. There were too many of us to stay on one boat, so we had two. We sailed for a bit, had some lunch and then docked up in a bay, which is the spot we went kayaking in.

I’ve only been kayaking once before and was terrible at it… I haven’t really got any better! It’s hard to sync two people together; we just ended up zigzagging along instead of going in a straight line. We eventually made it through a small cave and out the other side. On the way back to the boat Chrissy decided to take it upon her to do all the work, which I must say worked much better and we were mostly in a straight line. Maybe it’s just me? Hey, if she’s happy doing that then I’m happy too!



We got back to the boat, chilled out and were taken about an hour up the water to where we would be docking for the night. Slowly but surely the dark settled in, dinner was served and our night consisted of games and partying.
