Overnight Boat Trip on Halong Bay

Vu que l'on avait pas trop le temps d'organiser ca nous meme, on a reserver ce tour de la baie d'Halong avec une agence de voyage. C'etait un bon moyen de rencontrer d'autre backpackers et d'echanger nos bons plans.

We took a 2 day, 1 night boat trip on the Halong Bay, a few hours outside of Hanoi. The sights were amazing, and we met some cool people on our boat, but too bad our bed on the boat had bedbugs. Luckily we didn't get bitten though...


Here's a tiny house in the bay. Many people live in these floating houses.













This is a floating village. They have schools, banks, and other facets of society...



























On vous passe les photos des grottes eclaires au neons bleu, violet, rougeet vert, facon DysneyLand...

Many of the rocks jutting out from the water contain caves. This was the largest cave. It was lit up with many colors inside, and ended up looking like the Indiana Jones ride from Universal Studios themepark.





Some of the people who live on these floating islands make a living by rowing around to the bigger boats, selling produce and other food/drink.













We took a small boat off of the big boat, and took a quick trip around some of the islands. We are about to go through that little hole in the background.











Here's a view from the small boat.

Sunset on the Halong Bay.













The next morning, a peaceful fog set through the bay.



We took a kayak trip around some of the islands and caves.










There are a lot of tourist boats like this on the bay.
