Day 5 Monkey Island

09/03/13
We were woken by a knock on our door, I looked out of our window and saw 2 fellow passengers already  on a small boat with their luggage, we quickly changed and packed but we were still the last ones onto the boat, missing breakfast was not pleasant! We sailed to the largest island, Cat Ba Island, drove across it, got on another boat then sailed to Monkey Island, it is an island with monkeys on it.. It is also the most beautiful island I've ever seen, we've got views out to sea which are kick-ass. Lunch almost made up for breakfast, we had chicken and fish fondue with rice and noodles, we then lounged on the beach for an hour or so before going on a walk. We were told that it would be an easy walk so George and I wore our flip-flops (Rob would've done but he doesn't have any), it was in fact a scramble across jagged rocks to another bay to see the monkeys. Once we'd got back we went kayaking, George and I went to another island, about a mile away, where we found a cave, which fills up at high tide, at the back of the cave we found a tunnel (large enough to crawl down), neither gorge or I was brave/stupid enough to go down it because it was so long that you couldn't see the end even with a camera flash. Whilst we were enjoying ourselves Rob  and flooded his kayak, got stung by a jellyfish and had to push his kayak back to shore whilst swimming behind, as you would expect George and I were very sympathetic!
