3 day cruise through Halong Bay!

We booked a 3 day 2 night cruise with Asia Cruises, not knowing exactly what we signed up for, we boarded the bus! Our bus was brand new and held 40 people. When we arrived at Halong Bay city we joined up with the thousands of other people that signed up for cruises to this popular destination. There were hundreds of boats and they for the most part looked the same! We boarded the boat, ate lunch, and chilled as we sailed the bay. Our first stop was at a cave, then we had time for Kayaking, then it was dinner time and happy hour! On our second day we got off the boat, went bike riding around Cat Ba Island, visited a war hospital build in a cave, then took a small boat to our private Island resort- Monkey Island! On the Island we got a bungalow, ate lunch, and chilled on the beach! Later, during the day we hiked up the mountain to get to the other side to see the monkeys. We saw about 10 monkeys including baby monkeys! At night we had an amazing BBQ. The resort was the only thing on the Island and there were 24 of us on the Island. We had wonderful weather, enjoyed ourselves, and met some really nice travelers.

Realisamos el crucero a Halong Bay por 3 dias y 2 noches. El primer dia visitamos una cueva y anduvimos en cayaks. La comida en el crucero fue increible! y los lugares tambien. El segundo dia hicimos un tur en bicicleta y visitamos un hospital dentro de una montana, creado durante la guerra para no ser bombardeado, de ahi nos fuimos a la Isla del Mono! donde tuvimos el almuerzo y pasamos el dia. La verdad que la isla impresionante, un lugar maravilloso! A la noche tuvimos un "asadito" excelente! con pollo, cerdo, calamares, camarones, etc.
La verdad que Vietnam es un lugar realmente increible!
