Early morning preparations for the day. Phuong
and Judit from Calefornia having a breakfast chat. |
 |
 |
Ready to go. Nice ships. There are plenty of
them in Halong Bay. |
 |
 |
Phuong is changing from the shit to
the day boat. Lovely rock formations. Totally,
it is close to 2000 islands in the archipelago of Halong Bay. |
 |
 |
We
went to a fisherman village.
Phuong with her favorite anchor. |
 |
 |
The young Swedes did the kayaking.
We took the bamboo boat. Floating houses. |
 |
 |
A boat with stacks of light to draw
the fish during the night. They collect rubbish
as well. Good idea. |
 |
 |
They farm a verity of different
fishes here. The museum from the outside. They
put on a nice show for us. |
 |
 |
The blackboard of the pre-school
classroom. The schooling takes place on the
mainland. |
 |
 |
The Buddhist temples are
omnipresent all over the place, also in the fishermen village.
The locals gather for a communal lunch.
|
 |
 |
The Swedes also had a
dip in the sea. Not too cold. Martin with the
tour guide Dang with Big Stan in the background. |
 |
 |
Dang and his friend
Tan. The school house from the outside. |
 |
 |
Some really fancy rock
formations in this archipelago. Martin and
Phuong on the top deck. |
 |
 |
The Swedes, Anders and
Jonas, and Big Stan having a tan. Disembarking
to visit the cave. |
 |
 |
Up to the cave. Not
easy. Inside the cave. It was impressive. |
 |
 |
Martin and Phuong n the
cave. Phuong doing some cave exploration by
herself. |
 |
 |
A dig inside the cave.
Explanation about the cave where people have lived for at least 15 000
years.
The the crowd, Phuong, Martin Big Stan and his
wife Amy. |
 |
 |
Another dig in the
cave. Back at our boat, time for some cooking
lessons. This time they did not cook the food, just ate it. Spring rolls. |
 |
 |
The cabbage soup for starters. Very nice.
The menu was comprehensive and the food was really good all days.
Some vegetarian food that Phuong ate, bell
pepper cake, whatever that is. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Here is Phuong's
vegetarian menu. Martin's spare ribs. |
 |
 |
Martin's salmon. Really
tasty. Almost as good as a Norwegian one. |
