Halong Bay

After Ninh Binh we went to visit Halong Bay, some beautiful rocky islands in the sea. It's nice to go around by boat and we stayed 2 nights in Cat Ba islands, the biggest island there. However we left the island as soon as possible, because all the trips they offered were very expensive, it's like a mafia who controls all prices.
We had a bit bad luck with the weather, the sun we didn't see, it was foggy and rainy... On Cat Ba Island we went by motorbike around and visited the Cat Ba National Park where we climbed up a mountain which would have a nice view point, but except fog we couldn't see anything and the way we had to climb up was steep and slippery as it rained all the time.

Halong Bay, many islands in the sea and nearly all unpopulated. People life on boats and do so their work as well.

On some islands are caves which are possible to visit. This cave was big and very nice, however full of tourists, it was worse than walking in the Rambas...

Well, Fredi is also alife and enjoyed the trip through the islands. He was lucky that he didn't have to go swimming, the weather was too cold for that.

Our trip to the Cat Ba National Park. On the top of the mountain was a view tower, but unfortunately there wasn't any view... The path up was nice, but afterwards all our clothes and shoes were wet and dirty.

When we came back from the mountain, the motorbike which we rented had a flat tire... bad luck, waiting a long time for somebody who could repair it and of course we had to pay it.
