Final Days

On Monday we took an hour flight to Hanoi - capital of Vietnam. Had a quiet night, and rested up for our next tour. The following two days was spent on Halong Bay.

Our 'junk' boat cruised around these islands. There's a fair bit of pollution in the water, from the communities that live out here as well as the never ending tourists. But when our boat's engine would turn off and we drifted quietly on the water - it was very serene.

We had a stopover to check out some caves. Then the rest of the day was spent swimming and playing cards with some aussies and a french couple we'd met. That night we stayed in cabin on the boat.

The following day was the journey home - it took up virtually our entire day. On our rest break, I found the above - snake wine. Snake wine is everywhere, but I'd never seen this many snakes in the one bottle and I'd definitly never seen one of the snake's heads sticking out!

That arvo we walked back to our hotel and bumped into Ollie! The next day, Jeremy and Ollie went for a skate - while I organised tickets to go see water puppets.

Later that arvo, we watched the water puppets. Then later that night, it was off to the airport for me. Good bye Vietnam!
