enough of the city, show us some nature! we decided to head to the water as being born and raised close to it, we missed the ocean sights, sounds, and smells. we purchased a two day trip which included 5 meals, a RT 300km bus ride (flat tire at highway speeds was no charge;), an overnight on an 8 cabin junk, cave tour, kayaking, and pure comedy for briana and i when I cracked a funny joke to break the ice on the bus and not a one frenchie laughed...an uptight bit those frenchies...all for $100 total. not bad, but we could've gone lower as there was a $60 option...but who knows how sketchy the dinner was on those boats. luckily there were others on the boat with a sense of humor, phillip and sunna from germany, crazy celia from the uk, and a couple of finns who we hope call us when they arrive in sydney from perth on their drive "the long way 'round" as it's called down unda. our night on the boat was actually NYE for us, you all are 15hrs behind, so we celebrated with...drumroll please, Hanoi Vodka and Fanta! ahhhh yes, the head was pounding the next morning. though we missed all our listeners that night, we reminisced, and hoped you all were too.
on the way back to Hanoi, we realized how little we liked packaged tours, no matter how small, and decided to try to figure out how to avoid them going forward. however, halong bay is impossible to do by yourself, so we went for it and had a fun 30 hour tour.

ReplyDeleteHey, I'm finally in. I had to set up my own account. You kids sound like you are having a great time, but could you slow down on those motos. The visual is scary. Sacramento is having a heat wave....65 degrees. I printed the blog so the grandparents could follow along. Also, Mark and Megan are following your journey so keep us posted. Love Mom
