Last night we ate on the street, there are loads of 'restaurants' which just sprawl across the pavement. We don't quite know what we ordered or what the meat was, we think it might have been testicles, whatever they were they were nice. Afterwards we went to a pub which had a poster on the wall advertising that the Beatles were playing there..This morning we got picked up at 8 to head to Ha Long Bay, just before 13.00 we arrived and found our boat, a rather impressive, 3 decked vessel. The rooms were doubles and the other 2 quickly voted that I should share with someone else, that someone else was a 26 year old girl called Rebecca, from Dublin. The rest of the day was consumed by a visit to some very impressive caves, which had some real interesting formations, later we went kayaking (where I did some deep water soloing and Rob and I dived off a platform which was part of a floating village). Back on the boat, before dinner, a few of us dived/jumped off the top deck, after dinner we just had a few drinks and chatted, it was really cool talking to the other travellers because many of them had visited places we are planning to go to. Ha Long Bay itself is so impressive, there are about 2000 individual islands and put together they create an awesome view!
