Journey in Hanoi - Day 3 (Halong Bay Tour)

The next morning in Halong Bay, we will go for kayaking and swimming at the Gulf Of Tonkin. Since morning time is freaking cool, and i do not really know how to swim, therefore i am not joining the kayaking and swimming.

Jumping Down To The Sea

After all these activities, is about time return back to the Halong City. After we are in Halong City, we have a lunch in a restaurant opposite the jetty. On the counter table i saw a big bottle of super disgusting snake wine.

Who Dare to Try It

Happy moment always goes fast, after the lunch, we get on the car and begin the journey go back to the Old Quarter.
Tonight, my cousin and I decided to stay in another guest house in Old Quarter name Artist Hotel. The atmosphere here is set with a lovely leafy courtyard. FYI, the room rate here is $20USD.
