Wow - fun trip to Halong bay but 3 hours there and three hours back was a long ride... so far Vietnam is fantastic. We have been damp the entire time but it feels refreshing and it's better than super hot. The boat ride on Halong Bay was with 12 other people and we were able to stop on one of the islands and walk through this underground cave. Matt has decided that he wants to be a geologist or a teacher or an archeologist or possibly a writer. So basically, we have made no leeway in the career department but we are not worried - whatever happens we have decided that he likes caves.
Our guide Tink was super funny and he would get annoyed with me because everytime i asked a question he would turn to be and say 'I just answered that'! But i had trouble understanding him so i just kept asking. He thought i was funny but finally told me there was a really good program on the discovery channel on the Halong Bay World Heritage UNESCO site and that i should just check that out.
Well we are off to look for some good Vietnamese sandwiches. I'm sure we'll write more when we have some time. For now we are sitting in this hotel that we just ducked into called 'The Ritz' using up their free internet while the nice paying guests are waiting. It's not a real Ritz but it is a friendly place.
Lots of love to all and thanks for the emails we have gotten so far...Cheers! H & M
