That's my great time. Halong bay is really the World Nature Heritage. Two thousands lime stones made a giant picture. If some body comes and look from wherever, perhaps they want to stay longer.
The first, we flew from Bangkok to Hanoi and stayed at Indochina hotel. That's very nice hotel because out room was large, clean and quiet. I think with 45$ per night for superior double here was not too expensive but another ways, we got more than we paid. That's great value for our money. We booked 1 more night after Halong bay.
After check in date, we booked the tour 2 days 1 nigh to Ha long bay here. The hotel had many options for us, many budgets. But they recommend us go to Halong bay with the rate was 115$ per person by Opera cruise. We considered and check the rate on the internet and some agencies around but here was cheapest. Then we decided to book the tour with them. Any thing was nice and we stayed 2 more nights here.
Four hours from Hanoi to Halong bay, we took Opera cruise and went slowly around Halong bay. I never seen another places where more beauty. Thousands of lime stones were randomly ordered by the creator. Our tour guider was excellent, he shown us all the attractions about Halong bay, caves name, lime stone name as Fighting ****, Dau Go cave, Surprising cave...In the afternoon, we kayaked to discover many caves. That’s interest if rowing inside the cave. We felt cold and our voices was bigger.
In the nights in Halong bay was nice, quiet. We took the rolls and fished there. The first time I caught a squid. It’s small but we were very happy. In my cabin and the boat, we could not be found any fault. That’s perfect service.
Next day, we visited Floating Village to know the life in here. Their life was still in low standard but they were very friendly. Perhaps, we had strong impression when looking at the little child rowing to help his father trying to catch the fishes by net.. We said hello and gave them some thing for be souvenir and back to the boat. Until 11h, we had lunch and came back to Hanoi. What did we have after this trip? Many photos, strong impressive about Halong bay, the new view about Vietnamese ….
We are not sure for coming back. But many thanks for Indochina hotel. They brought us excellent services. I share this for all.
