Hanoi and Halong Bay
May 30 - June 2, 2014
We discovered early on that buses, and especially overnight buses, are just not made for anyone over 5 1/2 feet tall. So, for our trip to Hanoi we tried out the overnight sleeper train. What a treat! We stayed in a 4 bed cabin, and were lucky enough to have the whole thing to ourselves. It was so much more comfortable than a bus, and allowed us to see the beautiful scenery. We did not spend much time in Hanoi itself, but rather traveled to Halong Bay for a 2 day cruise through the beautiful waters.

| There are so many boats in this bay, it is crazy! |

During our cruise, we took some excursions including a cave exploration a kayak adventure and a trip to a beach. To be honest though, our favorite part was just hanging out on the boat; the views never got old!

| We hiked to a viewpoint at the beach. It was a little hot; can you see us glistening? |
And oh, those beautiful sunsets...
