We got picked up from our hotel early the next morning to head to Ha Long Bay. We got a little history lesson of Hanoi as we drove through the streets.
It’s unreal how tight the driving is, especially in a roundabout. Here we are driving around the Hanoi Opera House.
We stopped halfway through our 4 hour bus ride at a major tourist trap.
These looked so much like paintings.
We were so excited to arrive! Welcome aboard Aclass Cruises!
Welcome drinks!
Checking into our rooms
Lunch time!
Setting sail on the Natural Wonder that is Ha Long Bay which holds thousands of islands in various dramatic forms, standing in groups or scattered all around. Ha Long Bay's ancient landscape results from complex geological processes taking over 500 million years, resulting from the earth's movements, sea regression, tectonic down-warping, and sea transgression, to create thousands of limestone islands emerging from the sea. Ha Long Bay has tropical rain forests, mangrove forests, tidal mud flats, sandy tidal flats, sea grasses, coral reefs, caves and lagoons.
Ha Long Bay is also the home of fishing communities.
It was so incredible cruising through these amazing limestone islands…it reminded me a bit of cruising through the glaciers in Alaska. Stunning!
