Sailing on Halong Bay by Wiley

We drove 4 hours from Hanoi, Vietnam to Halong Bay.  Then we got on a boat called a junk.



We started to sail out to where there are very many little islands.  They look like big rocks with trees coming out of the sea.


 

At night we went squid fishing. We caught three squid and ate them the next day.


We also took a cooking class where we learned how to roll spring rolls.


We went to an island called Cat Ba.  We went to the beach and cut down coconuts from a coconut tree.  We cracked them open and drank the milk.


There were also floating villages where people lived and caught fish.


The next day we climbed to the top of a mountain where there was a big tower at the top.



After the hike we got on a hydrofoil for the trip back to the mainland. The boat was small and full of people.  Luckily it was very fast.
