New Year's Day

---

Some feeling a little worse for wear with early breakfast and a transfer to the sightseeing boat for our excursion to Lan Ha Bay. We visited a Pearl Farm which was pretty much the grubbiest part of the bay that we saw and despite the "You no buy, you will regret" I have no regrets (well not about not buying pearls but maybe about the amount of gin consumed last night).

We chugged further along into Lan Ha and stopped to kayak around some of the formations by Three Peaches Beaches including the Bat Cave, Dark and Light Cave and kayaking under and through many of the formations.

A glorious day that included much lying around in the sun and enjoying the breathtaking scenery that we were cruising by.

We finished the day by climbing to the top of one of the islands affording a magnificent view then returning to our junk with a new group of 2 dayers (both 1 and 2 day tours are the same with just the added day trip).
