Hanoi, Vietnam: Cruising around Halong Bay

Halong Bay was pretty (and the previous post was getting too draggy!) and the boat dropped us off at Catba Island for a night before another ship came and picked us up back to Hanoi. It was a very complex but well integrated system. You basically do as you are told.

Wouldn't be so nice without the coloured light, you think?

I think we did canoe/kayak a little - it was fun (but embarrassing!)

Next morning, after a night of hearing the seamen who stayed awake manning the ship, playing cards and chasing mice (from the roomie)
