Hanoi- Day 2 Halong Bay

Day 2- Halong Bay


We wake up early morning, had a lovely breakfast in hotel, preparing for a long couch trip. Full stomach. Full of energy. Halong! Here we come!

Yummy breakfast

Couch trip was around 4 hours plus. Seated all the way to Halong Bay was sooo tiring, I pity to those couch driver who have to drive everyday. I learnt compassionate on that day. :-)

Ooohh then we met another travellers, 4 women from Taiwan (they speak Mandarin and little English) and 3 guy from States (which obviously American English- speaking). Thanks to Joseph, who was very friendly to make a first initiative to kick a conversation with them. A heart that count, bro....Too bad the one that I like already have a girlfriend, muahahaha....kidding :-D

Reached there about lunch time. After we checked in, we proceed for lunch. 

Scrumptious lunch

Springrolls my fave
Yep! Ate these with my braces on. Struggling mode on.

After lunch, we went to Cave of Surprise. or Surprise Cave. I don't know why it is named that way. But I'm quite surprise that actually this cave is one of the world heritage attractions by UNESCO.

On the way to the cave.

Us outside the cave

After cave visiting, we went to Kayaking. My first Kayaking experience. Ever. What I did is just paddle left and right. The rest...let the man do the job, muahahaha.....Thanks to Joseph who did a good job at directing and controlling kayaking boat. ooohhh and his patience heart, never scolded me when I stop paddling or start complaining :-D

Tired and hungry, we back to our boat for dinner...OMG the beer and wine are very expensive there. Beer was like VND 45,000,  while you can get same beer at price VND 8,000 in Hanoi city.... And the wine, starting from VND 400,000++  *sounds bitterness* But we got a complimentary beer from our tour guide. yeah! 

Cheers! Bia Hanoi!

Sorry Ike, but Mel and me look good here
:-D

Prawn

After dinner, jeng jeng jeng.....karaoke time! 

But it only lasted about an hour or so....coz the jukebox sucks and we only get to sing old English songs :-(   No Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift's song. Ooohhh and the sotong fishing was quite disappointed. Sotong people tried to catch sotong...I supposed... I think after we tried (very hard) in about 15 mins, all completely gave up and felt shit, it was a waste of time....

So we went to upper deck to savour wine, played truth or dare with other travellers, and dance Gangnam style wtf. It was crazy night and all tipsy/high. No worry, nobody ever jumped off the boat or  did something stupid. We were all safe and sound.

Cheers!

Okay that's all for day 2.

Ciao!
