Halong Bay




Took a 3 day/2 night tour to Halong Bay. One of my favorite experiences so far in this trip, although I feel like I say this every time I go to a new place. Halong Bay was a like an extreme tour were party and sport activities took both of my day. From Halong City, about 25 people of my age travelled in a boat all with a party attitude. After taking a 3 hour trip around the infinite number of Islands in the bay, we did some kayak exploration of some caves, along with plenty of drinking. After the cave exploration and swimming with the annoying Jelly Fish we departed to a new location of a different group of Islands were we ducked for the night. It was a pretty rough night since we went to bed at 4 am and got woken up at 7 am. On the second day me along with a small group of people sign up for rock climbing so we took on a different boat to a separate Island were we did the first set of climbing for the day. During the second part of the day in a different island we got really challenged by some impossible climbs that non of us could accomplish although I got to make it pretty close to the top. The instructors all told us that the second part of the day would be very hard, but despite all I had the most amazing time trying to accomplish the climbs. By the end of the day we arrived to Cat Bah island were we spend the night drinking at a secluded beach.
On my arrival to Hanoi from Halong Bay, surprisingly I meet A Venezuelan girl who happened to be the step sister of a friend of mine, so she decided to tag alone and travel with me and the group of friends that have been together for the last week.
