Halong bay

In order to have a peaceful view of Halong bay, we had to wake up very early. We had breakfast at 6:00 in the morning. Then the bus took us to the bay after a short drive. We had a whole ship for our group (11 people) alone. It was very nice to see the bay so early in the morning, before the crowds arrived. On the ship, we had a delicious lunch.

Then we went back to Hanoi by bus (about 4 hours drive) and from there by plane to Danang. The bus ride took about an hour. Since everyone was still hungry, we made a quick stop and everyone could buy a sandwich. By the time we checked into the hotel, it was already 21:30 and everyone was looking forward to taking a shower and getting some rest.
