The first cruise within beautiful Halong Bay Vietnam

2010 July 29

We recently took an incredible journey to one of the most beautiful parts of Vietnam, Ha Long Bay while we’re waiting for citizenship paperwork to be completed for the recent adoption of our boy Evan Binh Minh. It’s around the middle of the Vietnam and China ocean, where the red A is below:


Halong Bay Cruise Tours

We had a fantastic 2 day cruise around the superb Indochina Sails. Their boats are extremely classic, in between a Chinese junk ship, and an basic wood Galleon ship. It had been really unbelievable, sort of like becoming in the Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord on the Rings movie! It had been our very first cruise and we truly enjoyed it, extremely luxurious, but more cost-effective than a hotel!

The bay is between Vietnam and China, and has hundreds of islands, caves, and fascinating wonders, with many neighborhood fishing boats.

Aspect in the tour in the bay incorporated swimming in the warm, incredibly salty ocean on a beach off a person of the islands. It turned out Evan’s very first time from the ocean, he was mesmerized!

Then, we have been taking to some floating fishing village subsidized through the Vietnam federal government. Everything on water, which include floating stores that came up to our boat with their wares, latched right beside us as we had been travelling, along with a floating school! It was actually unreal how these folks live in which they perform. You’ll be able to see all of this inside the photographs under:

Lastly, we went to some cave known as surprise cave that was a massive underground cavern inside 1 of the island mountains! There ended up even stay bats within that we saw hanging approximately, and due to the fact we were the first visitors on the cave from the morning, we got to determine them in their normal habitat flying all around the back in the cave! Evan was asleep and suddenly woke up within this cave, I wonder what he believed? He seemed pretty fascinated.

We wished it was longer and will definitely be back for a longer tour, as there is so much to see in this beautiful place, the photos give a tiny glimpse of what you see when your there. I highly recommend you visit this part of the world… Fascinating!
