 bustling street of Hanoi

 stopover at local souvenir store and cafe where we had a chicken burger, sausages and some peanuts.

 Bottle of red wine and fruit platter as a welcome gift. And our toilet has a jaccuzi bathtub!

 Our room comes with a very long and spacious balcony!

 First activity of the day - Limestone Cave visit

 after our cave visits, we did kayaking! Click here cos these photos are taken by our trusty GoPro. Although there were some photos which had a watermark in the centre of the photo but it's quite good already! At least we needn't have to worry about cameras or mobiles getting wet and still able to take some photos!

 Sundown at the upper deck with happy hour!

me and Jules' funny faces

The view of Halong Bay is just amazing. So serene and tranquil. I find it so relaxing and certainly a good break from work. I've been feeling so stressed at work lately as the financial year closing is drawing near and everyone is all nervous about billing, claims and year end bonus....

 The boys making their own Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

The boys totally enjoyed squid fishing even though they didn't manage to catch anything cos apparently Sept is not a good season for squid catching but Alisa Cruise says it's still part of the itinerary that all it's visitors can enjoy.
