We were up early for breakfast on day 3, since the bus for our
Halong bay cruise was coming for us at 7. A tour guide came in and grabbed us from the hotel lobby and we jumped into a bus headed for Halong city. There were a few others on the bus with us, but none headed for the same boat we were. They drive for two hours, take a little break at a super touristy gift shop. then another hour or so to the docks. The bus dropped us off at the docks and we sat around kind of awkwardly for a while until someone gathered us up and, explained what the plan was and then put us on a little boat out to our junk,
Indochina Junk's Dragon Pearl. Th
e boat starts to cruise almost immediately and they sit you down for a welcome dring, check in, a briefing and then a really amazing 9 course lunch. The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious, and it is well presented. We made fast friends with the other English speakers on the boat, including a really fun group of 6 from the land down under. We went on a short cave tour of the Thien Canh Son Cave and then took a really
great little kayaking trip around some of the rock islands. It was the most relaxing and beautiful part of the trip. After Kayaking we spent some chill time on the beach watching the sunset, then headed back to the junk for drinks and dinner. Dinner was even more impressive with multiple courses, and detailed food
sculptures. We stayed up for a long time drinking and chatting and then went to sleep in our really cute little cabin.
