So, a little slow in the morning, but we were awoken by our guide to eat breakfast and then get out in the kayaks. We paid a little extra to have a full day of kayaking, but after the first paddle, our arms were pretty sore and we were dreading the next ones. It was a great way to see the area though, paddling through caves and around some of the floating villages. As we were on a 3 day trip, we bid farewell to the unfortunate ones on a 2 day, and took a ride up to a beautiful little beach. After kayaking around that area, they set up a table and umbrella on the beach and then served us an amazing lunch of seafood and other dishes on the beach. It was a stunning setting and we loved the experience.
After some swimming, Wes, Amanda, Michelle and I went out again in the kayaks through this cave which actually led to a secret lagoon, that only had one cave entrance and steep cliffs all around. We floated around the tranquil lagoon for 30 minutes listening to peace and quiet of nature and our echos. Back to the boat for a relaxing ride to Cat Ba Island where we spent the second night. A little town on the waterfront with a good selection of Bia Hoi's.
The third day was basically a travel day back from Cat Ba, on the Santa Maria back to Halong City. We just chilled out on the decks enjoying the scenery, reading books, and chatting with our new friends. A great trip to Halong, one we will remember for years to come! *Stub
