Day 4
Woke up early to go to Halong Bay! Heheh bus picked us up at the end of the street with our luggage then went around Hanoi picking up the rest of our group at all the little hotels.
Many houred journey.
So dreary and bleak. Wouldn't like to stay here D:
No blue skies to be seen, not even once!
Hahah, and in Vietnam you're supposed to drive on the left side of the road, right? But the rule there seems to be drive on the left, but if there's no one on the right, you're totally free to be on that lane as you like, overtaking or whatever. And usually there are only two lanes on the roads, going opposite ways. Wth you'd think there'd be accidents left and right every single day, but surprisingly accidents occur quite infrequently over there. Probably because they don't drive too fast over there lol!
Stopped by at this place which sold lots of stuff. Quite awesome actually. Oreos of every flavour hehe! *Drools*
Well come to think of it not really I only like the original Oreos. I was blinded by all the choices =_=
Paintings? Nope it's all embroidery. =D
Mehh got on the bus last with mum's purchases =.= anyway our tour guide, Tom btw sang us a love song. What Vietnamese guys do the girl they desire >:) His voice was really good anyway.
After the super bumpy ride we reached the bay. Like, FINALLY!! Got on a little boat with all our luggage to get to the boat we were staying the night at.
Basically all we did on the boat was chit chat and make friends, sleep eat and laze around lol. Nothing too special.
Our teeny tiny bedroom! Or... just bed.
And not to forget dad and his little bed XD
Just had to share this terrible painting hanging in our room haha.
Stopped at this island with a giant hill on it! I think it was called Tip Top Mountain or something funny like that o.O
Ahhh imagine how beautiful this place would look if there were blue skies reflected into the water! Which would probably happen in the summer time.. :(
Dad and I climbed up the super high hill =_= Steep steps all the way I was dying!! @_@ And I didn't even bring the camera up so the view at the top was totally wasted. Ish. And dad tried to talk to some of the Shanghai tourists up there but he didn't understand HAHAH! He was like Orh orh and after the guy left, what did he say ah? *shakes head*
Hello there squid! :D
I missed the cooking lesson and the kayaking after. Because I was lazy and I wanted to shower heheh. Ending up getting only cold water after wetting myself gah. Did I mention it is VERY cold in Halong Bay? Like freezing. With all the wind and water >.< Just stood there wet for goodness knows how long trying to get the warm water back. And in the end.. I just showered with the ice cold water. :(
Dinner time!
Spring rollsssss
Look at the pretty flowers! They're actually chili, potato, cucumber, carrot.. and the stalks are spring onion or something.
The meals were really pleasant :) Good food and sat at the same table as a Singaporean couple, an Irish couple and a Swiss man I think as well as our tour guide. Everybody got along quite well, unlike the other table where it was all Argentinians and a British couple. The Argentinians were kinda rude and ignored the British couple some moree at mealtimes :( They probably felt quite left out at that table.
Anyways it's late. Don't have much inspiration for blogging today *yawn* gotta get ready for bed now. I guess this poor Vietnam trip has to be split into four parts then. Tata! :D
This girl's face! I don't know why I feel it's so special!
