We arrived in the airport in Hanoi in Vietnam. We had a day to explore the city and then we took off to Halong Bay. We will write a seperate blog post about Hanoi later. Halong Bay actually means descending dragon bay because the myth of the place is that the heavenly gods sent down a dragon to fend off enemies and afterwards the dragon stayed and turned into the thousands of islands of limestone cliffs. As soon as we arrived in the area we were stunned by the amazing view. It turned out our boat trip actually was a cruise, a rather nice and luxurious cruise ship, the most luxurious until now. In Halong Bay spent the days kajaking (this time it was with real kajaks) with our guide, exploring a cave, visiting a oyster farm (pearl oister), climbing a small mountain and playing beach volley. We also met 3 other Danish backpackers and talked with them and the crew on board. We learnt to make fried and fresh vietnamese spring rolls and have had a big bbq dinner with squids, shrimps and oysters which wasn't Adrians favourite.
