Halong Bay was one of the places I was most excited to see on our trip. We went on an overnight cruise. I had seen so many photos of this place and they all looked so beautiful. I was only slightly disappointed.
The bay and the islands were just as I imagined. They were so beautiful. The only downside was that the weather sucked. It was kind of cold and rained a bit. Having said that, we still managed to have a lot of fun. We went kayaking and visited a remarkable cave. I was a little worried about seasickness but the water was completely still.
The water was murkier than I imagined and there was garbage in the water. That wasn’t something I was expecting. Despite that the views were still stunning and this trip is an absolute must for anyone visiting Vietnam.
