Cambodia-Vietnam Vacation: Day 9-Ha Long Bay-Part 2

While we were waiting for a boat to take us to a nearby cave, this small boat came up trying to sell us things.  We negotiated a bottle of wine from her and saved a bit of money versus getting wine on our cruise.  How fun to buy wine from a floating market!

On our way to Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave

The many caves are the results of water seeping into cracks and slowly eroding the limestone. There were some beautiful lookouts on our way to Sung Sot Cave.

This cave was amazing and kept getting better and better as we went along.

Do you see it?  Why this cave is nicknamed “Surprise!”

The kids were a little hesitant after they heard there were some jellyfish in the water, but all was fine.  Caught a photo of one our cruise mates jumping from the top deck-cool!
