Vietnam Part Two - Halong Bay

okey, baru ada mood nak sambung about the trip hari tu hehe (yes2, ive got so many pending trips! the rome one, the barcelona one, nanti2 i will upload ok hehehe), oh this is gonna be FULL of pictures okey, sebab Halong Bay adalah sangat GORGEOUS!

rite, where was i, oh okey, on our second day, we took a trip to Ha Long Bay. the place is about 3 hours drive fron Hanoi city centre. we took a package of USD 105 per person, which includes the return bus, food, lodgings, all tickets and all activities, so i think its pretty reasonable. of course ada pacakge yang cheaper, so its totally up to you, okey :)

this is our bus. we were informed there will only be 10 of us on the bus and on the boat, that suppose to can accomodate up to 40 pax! wuhoo! so we got the boat and the bus to ourselves :) we are 5 and we met up with another 5 foreigners on the bus, they are pretty cool peeps, so it was great :)

OUR FOOD! makan aja dalam boat tu...kebetulan the other 5 pax are also non meat eaters, so all of enjoyed just seafood and vegetarian the whole time..dont be fooled ya, this is only half of the pictures of the food, banyak laaaagi tapi takkan nak letak semua kan hehe.

all in all, we loved our trip to Hanoi, seriously! its wonderful to explore Asian countries pulak and with cheap cost and wonderful weather and lovely people, really, thats the best kind of holiday, and it certainly doesnt get any better than this (^_^)
