May 30: Ha Long Bay!

I woke up at 5am to watch the sunrise, but alas it was a very cloudy morning. So I went back to bed until breakfast, which was at 8am.

crepes and fruit and toast and coffee!

this is how Vietnamese people traditionally brew coffee!

Another kayaking outing! more lagoon caves!

the only photo I thought to take with myself in it the whole time! I regret not getting one from the boat.

After lunch, our boat returned to Cat Ba Island, where I caught an afternoon bus back to Hanoi.

We drove into a heavy rainstorm in Hanoi. The streets seemed flooded!
