Tag 11: Wind-down on the boat

At 07:00 the alarm clock rang. The first look went out the window to the still calm, untouched water and the karst rocks covered in fog. A beautiful sight to wake up in the middle of the Halong Bay. We relaxed in bed for a while and enjoyed the view and the morning tranquility. For breakfast, we had pancakes with honey, the best ones we've had so far, plenty of fruit, and a fresh Vietnamese coffee. Right after eating, we went back on the water for the second round of kayaking. This time, we paddled through smaller, even narrower caves to hidden lagoons and could observe many fish in the shallow water. After an hour and a half of paddling, we returned to the boat, where we showered and got ready for lunch. Once we were well-fed, we packed our backpacks and headed towards the harbor. Due to bad weather, we stayed in the hotel room in the afternoon and planned our onward journey, until we finally went to the restaurant 'Little Leaf' for dinner in the evening.
