Trip to Ha Long Bay.
January 9, 2012
After a three and one half hour tail bone crushing bus ride we arrive in Ha Long Bay. The majesty of this place is amazing even before we board our boat. We are tendered from the dock to our anchored junk boat “The Eclipse”, and led to our berths.
I am at a loss to adequately describe the grandeur of Ha Long Bay. The solid rock mountains jut skyward as if floating on the water. Although I feel the word may be the most overused word in the English language… this place truly is AWESOME! I think the pictures do this place justice.
Part of our adventure is a visit to a cave within one of the massive rocks, discovered by the French in the mid twentieth century.
Taking pictures of the night moorings of many boats out here… it is a light show… only the sound of the ocean lapping on the hull.

Awesome! And I mean that with the literal use of that word. Looks like the most beautiful place so far.
