Journey in Hanoi - Day 2 (Halong Bay Tour) - Part 1

On the second day in Hanoi, after i took my breakfast, i start my way to Halong Bay by follow the local travel agent 2 Days 1 Night package that consist transportation to Halong City, food and accomodation stay in the junk, kayaking and also swimming at the Gulf Of Tonkin. The total package cost $48USD.

Bizzare but beautiful, Halong Bay is geology gone wild with thousands of limestone pinnacles protuding from the water. Halong Bay is located at notheast of Vietnam. It takes about four hours drive from Hanoi City.

The Beauty Of Halong Bay

Outside the car window, i can see a lot of rice farms at the roadside along the way to Halong City (gateway to Halong Bay) after I exited the border of Hanoi. After two hours sitting inside the car, the driver finally stop at a souvinier shop where the souvinier is more expensive than outside; most probably because the driver will get commission if the tourist he brought have bought something. For me, i did not bought anything from there, i straight away take out my camera shooting photo.
