62 catching up with 45

Me - Halong Bay

The market was followed by a visit to a floating village (literally boat people on the edge of Halong Bay) and then finally transferred to a private boat for a 4 hour cruise of Halong Bay.

I must say photos do not do it justice as its absolutely beautiful (even in winter with the mist and the cold). Its very quiet and serene, broken by the occasional hawk squaking, and a definite wonder of the world – another WOW factor.

I would truly love to see this in summer. After a visit to a cave with stalagmites, it was back to the ship.

Truly loved Halong Bay and was the highlight of my cruise.

62 catching up with 45

Although everyone thinks 62 is old (actually, I used to myself), believe me when you get there its nothing. Nothing much has changed really, except I'm a bit wiser and physically everything's heading south. Apart from that, I'm still adventurous (having just been on a huge rollercoaster in Las Vegas) and independent, and by now am fairly well travelled. Unlike most people, I don't mind travelling by myself as you meet so many people and make friends along the way. Plus you can completely please yourself as to what you'll do.... full info
