Travel with Me: Day 10

I'm super tired right now, we just got back from the longest journey ever. BUT, it was such a great day. We went to Halong Bay which from Hanoi is like 6 hours of travelling. In a way the 3 hour journey there was good because we got to sleep on the coach woooo. It was honestly like being back at school on a school trip HAHA. The journey also wasn't all that bad because I had the funniest American family sitting behind me and listening to their conversation for 3 hours was great. I honestly know all their families names now, and they all begin with D. That must be like, a 'thing' in America, like the Kardashians.

Anyway, when we got to Halong Bay we went on this boat to take us around and had lunch. I was slight disappointed because it was such a gloomy day. Oh well. Anyway, the lunch was really good, there was rice, chicken, fish, vegetables etc. However about half way in I found a hair in my chicken which obvs put me off it but whatever.

We firstly visited this floating village. All the people here live on Halong Bay which is literally the craziest thing to me. Although theres not many of them, I don't know how people can live here! I think they were all one giant family so I guess they all want to stay together. The people that live here run bamboo boating trips so of course we did this.



When the boating was over we went back to our bigger boat and started our journey to some caves that are in the bay. The caves were really cool and of course had a story behind them. Something about a princess but I wasn't listening that well tbh.

And once that was over we had to head back to our boat for another 3 hour journey back *yawn*. The journey was so worth it though, the bay is as beautiful as it looks in all the pictures.
