Very nice setup, excellent food and
Phuong made spring rolls.

Outside our hotel, waiting for pickup. We were the last ones to board the bus. |
||
First a short stop to have a leak, and the rubbish were everywhere. Her is our bus in the foggy conditions. |
||
A pearl factory. Which oysters they use to make cultivated pearls. |
||
Big business in the big pearl shop. Phuong at the shop. |
||
Our guide spoke very unclear
English. How the make beads. |
||
Inserting the starting pearl into
the oysters. Phuong at the counter. We didn't buy any. |
||
Phuong and Martin in front of the
company logo. Time to embark. |
||
Our ship. Video showing we are
leaving the quay. It was many cruise ships on the harbor. |
||
They have Saigon beer (Martin's
favorite), Hanoi beer and even Halong beer. Our cabin. The bed was made for ViAnh as well. Sadly, she couldn't come. |

orange with Martin's diving knife. Another cruise ship. |
||
Ti-Tot, the founder of

Phuong down the stairs.
It was very far to the top. We didn't take the hike. The beach, but not nice in the fog. |

bought some glasses for MartinK. Overlooking the beach. |
||
Back at the boat where
the guests were taught how to make spring rolls. Phuong watching hers being cooked. |

Hang, our tour guide,

Dish no. 3), seafood on
spit with baked oysters. Phuong got a bottle of complimentary wine that she had for herself. Martin don't like wine. |
On Wednesday January 22th,
it was the only full day on board the ship.
