Just got back from Halong Bay and the first thing I want to say is that it is really beautiful and the water was a very ocean green. However, I was a little dismayed when they charged us for all drinks. I just thought it was going to be alcohol that was separate but nope. It included all drinks including drinking water.
Halong Bay is recommened but maybe it not with Hanoi Backpackers' Hostel. Their tour is a little more expensive (so I thought it would be nicer). But nope it sounded like the other tours I have other people take. Kayaking was really fun though. My first time. And I ran into a jellyfish! Cool things that look like plastic bags. Good thing I didn't get stung though. Heard bats in a water cave.
Why do I feel that every Vietnamese person is trying to rip me off? I just can't shake that feeling.
Cat Ba island is a piece of shit. It's like a cheap version Las Vegas with it's changing lights and attempt at a fountain show. A lot of prostitute solicitors and people asking if you want weed. Sketchy and dodgy place.
Going to Sapa for about five/six days. I have a flight to Luang Prabang on the seventh of October.
I really, REALLY hope Sapa is nice.
