Cat Ba - Last Day

---

I wasn't sure about staying another day in Cat Ba, but it turns out that leaving early would have been a huge mistake.

Kara and Paul, a honeymooning couple from Calgary climbed with Lizzy and I the first day. We all decided to do a motorbike tour of the national park.

For 4 dollars and 50 cents we got a bike for an entire day. Gotta love the cost of activities here. We checked out a couple of caves, one by headlight only, which was pretty awesome and tooled around the island for the day, hitting pretty much every trailhead we could find along the way.

Again, the pictures don't do the scenery justice. But I can try.

after walking Lizzy through the basics of motorbiking, I never got the driver's seat back ;)

Spiders on steroids
In inches, what is the span of their legs? Certainly challenges my spider phobia. Do they hang out in more traveled places, or keep to themselves?

Spiders
Naw, they keep to themselves, mostly high in trees or on power lines. 3 or 4 inches end to end. And thanks for the fan tip. Thank god you told me, so I don't have to suffer through the next two months wondering. I'll do my best :)
