Halong Bay is a majestic place and brings well needed piece and quiet from the roads as the junk crusies through limestome karst formation. It does worry me however how sustainable the current level of tourism is. There are a lot of boats out on the water and the Halong city port is rammed with people constantly - the water is not what is use to be. I really hope they can keep the beauty of this place for many generations to come.
The tour that I went on was a great group of people which made up for the lack of itinery and fullfilment of what was sold as part of the tour. It is times like this when you dont get what you paid for that you just have to enjoy what you got. Leave the bad energy behind and make the most of it and we all had a great time. I spent one night on the junk and the other in a hotel on Cat Ba island.
These kids came and sat next to me while I was watching the sunset over Cat Ba Island in Halong Bay and wanted me to take photos of them. I was playing with the settings and they were so excited when they were captured in black and white. They were just so lovely just wanted to hang out.
Sunset over Halong Bay. The sun never makes it to the horizon it sets at about this height as it dissapears into the mist. The first night I spent on Halong Bay I was in a kayak when the sun went down it was just magical.
Halong bay during the day. I have so many photos from this trip that i was hard to decide what to put online. I hope these capture it :)
