Tuesday 14 July
Early up at. 5:30, breakfast at. And leave at 6:00. 7:00. We have a long journey ahead of us, we still have family Luu, family Hoang and khoa with us. During the trip told about khoa Hanoi: city became the capital in 1010, before then it was called Long Tan (the ascending draw), while the Ha Long is the descending dragon. Hanoi means "within the river." There are 8 million. residents in Hanoi, the 6 mill. live in the river, the last 2 million. outside river. For this reason, building several bridges over the, currently, only the original draw-shaped bridge, which the Americans smashed without war and then the bridge which the Russians built in 1985. First stop was a humanitarian center, ie. business, where most employees were disabled, for example. hearing impaired by the U.S. orange poison (napalm). There were jewelry, art and silk, so we were tempted to buy something for the good purpose debt. It was also a really nice place with many goods of high quality. We met Oanh, as Henning know from the past and there was great joy return. After 45 min. spot had we continued to Halong Bay, which is Vietnam's largest turistmagnet. We arrived at. 11:30 and there were very many people who had had the same idea as us, but most Vietnamese and Chinese. Unfortunately, our booked hotel busy khoa then had to find another (Hotel Post Office), which proved to be of poor standard. We had to quickly find 4 rooms of a better standard. We are otherwise regarded as exciting photograph objects in this town. We took our boat and were soon out into the Gulf of Tonkin, known from "The man with the golden gun" and is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And we can confirm. Now we were also lucky with the weather, because we came a day after the typhoons and the weather was completely done up, so our boat trip was like the post cards, nothing less. Kl. 12:30, we were able to sit at lunch table on the boat with lots of good food. Due. weather, nature, atmosphere, etc., ordered the group's oldest Chardonnay with a 150 kroner bottle. 4 pcs. in total - but it is paid for sailing trip was not inferior to it. Otherwise daskede around and we just enjoyed the ride. During the sailing journey, there were two plank. The first was a visit to a mountain where there are some beautiful cave. We went through the caves, enjoyed the beautiful caves which were beautifully illuminated and came out another place where we were taken up by the boat. There were 3 holes in total, they are formed when water was 30-40m higher than today. Law is eroded away and only lime is left. It was like in the Tinder Box, that they became more and more the farther Monday came and the last was as high as a tower. Great experience! The second was that the boat was at a beach, so we could shower. Kl. 17:30 we were back to hotel and kl. 20 go / we sail out to eat at a fish restaurant off the middle of the water. Fried Catfish with Tiger Beer and vodka! Afterwards, there was just time for a walk along the beach promenade in this paradise location. There is a great opportunity to buy pearls for cheap money on the beach promenade. We have to try tomorrow.

Wednesday 15 July

We could sleep in - all the way to kl. 6:30 because we had the place at first. 8 of the bus to another beach 3 km away. Here was a ship that would fly us back out into the Tonkin Gulf. At this end of the bay, there was almost an entire city of small fishing houses. After 1 hour we landed at one of these fish houses, which also rents kayaks out. 3 double kayaks sailed out and surveyed the area. Unfortunately, they came away from each other along the way, but turned back after an hour boating in good shape all together. Then it was time for lunch - again a wonderful lunch with prawns, mussels cooked CATFISH, etc. + "Halida. After this excellent lunch we sailed to Monkey Island, which was bathed. Since everyone was ashore to beach, the ship sailed away and we were left on Monkey Island. We spent almost 2 hours there with bathing and with searches after monkeys. There were plenty of monkeys, and they came very close to us to look for leftovers. It was a beautiful and peaceful island where we left off pede entirely. But it was time to go home, so we went aboard and was back at home. 15:30. Then it was time for a water front and the purpose was to buy pearls - they are quite cheap right here. You can get smart real bead chains 45 kr Kl. 20:00 we met to find a delicious dinner, which is not the Vietnamese, the group now to be 1 to get used to the Danish standard. Since it was our last noon together we should have a red wine and champagne at the Green Mango. Moreover, even an excellent dinner with particular and and mussel soup. Vietnamese eat incredibly healthy, it is good and healthy food and then we get to a cheap money. Mot hai ba, jo (pronounced mon tai ba, of course). Does 1, 2, 3, cup. Or chúc sic kho!
