Up reasonably early after a decidedly cold sleepless night on hard bunk beds but the pain eased by the glorious sight of the cliffs in the early morning light.
After breakfast, off to a floating village where we each pay $5 for a 30 minute boat trip round the rocks. Something of a rip-off as many people work for $1 a day but the scenery magnificent and it all benefits the local people ( and we suspect our tour guide!). The water in some areas was quite disgusting and merely confirmed what Craig had reported to us the evening before.
Back to Halong Harbour for a good lunch and then the long drive back to Hanoi.
Dinner at very good upmarket seafood restaurant, found by Craig, on the last evening before he flies back to Melbourne.
Receive more news on the Ashes so go to sleep safe in the knowledge that I will be receiving some more messages from nephew Andy in the UK.
Book a trip to Sa Pa in the mountains.
The Obese Ferret.
