Halong Bay
Waking up to rain pitter patting on the wooden window sills is calming, looking out of the boat window we can see other boats in the bay and its very misty and grey. This gives Halong Bay an eerie feel almost mystical. We have an early breakfast of bacon eggs and toast with freshly made watermelon or peach juice then get on to our tender which takes us to a floating island. We then board a junk and are paddled under an arch way to an inner lake and its there we see the rock monkeys. Throwing cut up banana to them they scampered down the rocks at amazing speed to collect their free breakfast. We then returned for morning coffee and relaxed as the boat made its way out of the bay and back to shore. Just before reaching there we had an early lunch, fresh crab, prawns, beef and pork, vegetables, rice and chips with sculptured apples for dessert. We paid our drinks bill, the first time we have ever paid a million for drinks but then its only a million Dong, about £30 it is difficult to get used to this money
