Ha Long Bay

Junk boat, smilar to the one i was on 'cept ours had no sails! (BOO)
Too much salt water

There are over 3000 of these "islands" in Ha Long Bay

Sunset...you can see another few boats in the bay where we had anchored for the night!

Never really get this opportunity mcuh at home, John...this is chicken scrap compared to the things you jump off.

Took an overnight cruise at Ha Long bay. It's really quite something. Literally translating as "the place where the dragon enters the sea" (dont ask how "Ha Long" becomes 8 words) the local lore supports that the islands were formed when the dragon tail lashed about cutting deeply into the land and letting the water it. At least thats what the guy on the boat said.

It was pretty hazy when I was there, and so visibility was much lower than normal. Still, an incredible place to spend 2 days. My time is out here, so I will have more on Ha Long in the future. I'll be leaving Vietnam tomorrow. Which is both happy and sad. I have to say i wont miss someone trying to sell me something every 3 feet. "Mis-ter...you buy!? 2 Dolla? Mis-ta?...

Gotta go!

And yes... I DID eat the rest of the sandwich! (keep reading the older post if you don't understand this)
