The pictures don't do it justice. You have to see it for yourself. Besides that, though the sky was cloudy, it was neither too hot nor too cold and in many ways the overcast sky made the two days in Halong Bay quite enjoyable.

Slept on the boat after swimming (and jumping off the boat) around sunset. Woke up early the next morning for the sunrise, but alas, due to the clouds, we didn't get to see the actual sunrise.

We went kayaking too. There is an island called monkey island, because monkeys are supposed to live on it, though we did not see any. There's a giant cave on that island with stalactites and stalagmites that were spectacular, especially considering the hundreds of people who were traipsing through.
