Author’s note: we are skipping “Best Meals” and “Blooper Reel,” because there were none. We were only there for two days.
Best Experiences: Anna
- Not dying while scrambling up and down the treacherous rocks on Cat Ba Island. It was both scary and very fun!
- Happy houring with our fellow international passengers. I’m going to miss those guys.
- Kayaking to another quiet, secluded cove surrounded by colossal karsts. It loses a tiny bit of the awe the second time, but not much.
Best Experiences: Aaron
- Swimming from the kayak in cold, cold Halong Bay.
- Making friends with our Australian, Ecuadorean, German, Swiss, and Taiwanese comrades. Sharing stories and bonding over drinks on the deck.
- Cycling through the Cat Ba countryside, surrounded by towering karsts (which hardly deserve mention by this point).
