The captain squeezed between two steep limestone bluffs. The ship floated on deep blue water. I have only imagined a place like this. I have heard about the beautiful Halong Bay islands and seen many pictures but nothing can compare it to the real thing.
The islands of Halong Bay are over 150 m tall. Our cruise ship parked with all the others. We just stared and admired the magnificent islands. We got on a little boat and headed to the biggest cave. The outside is as amazing as the inside. Columns of grey bumpy rock come from the tops of the roof. In the rocks there were little rock animals formed by the water and rock, Monkeys, snakes, and elephants.
Our little boat parked beside the cruise ship. After the amazing cave, we took a kayak out onto the bay and got up close with the limestone bluffs, giving me an even better view of the wonderful bay. The little boat took us back to the cruise ship. We sat down to a delicious seafood dinner and admired the view. It’s impossible for me to explain the amazing bay in words, so as the quote says a picture is worth 1000 words.
