Cruise in Halong Bay

Good morning Halong Bay!

After another early wake up (6:30 AM!) and breakfast on the Junk, we docked by one of the largest floating villages in the bay. This was an entire community of homes, markets, schools and of course, souvenier shops floating in the bay on wooden platforms built over stacked barrels.

After this visit, we had our farewell lunch on the Junk and said goodbye to our Junk guide and crew with awkward thank you's and exchange of tips through handshakes. The second half of the day was mainly travel - 4 hours back to Hanoi and then heading to the airport for our flight to Danang and drive to HoiAn.

We are management consultants from San Francisco. We travel a whole lot for work, but that is nowhere near as much fun as traveling together to countries we have always wanted to visit. We embarked on a 3 month trip around the Asia Pacific in 2012, and used this blog to post pictures and (some) comments for friends and family that want to follow our travels, including our 2-3 week trip around India in an auto-rickshaw! Nearly a year from our 3 month trip, we have again hit the road for a "de-toxing" trip into the mountains and valleys of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile...... full info
