one of the two granaries of Vietnam. Upon arriving in Halong, we will sail our
boat round its natural rocky gardens whilst a tasty seafood lunch is waiting on
board. Most of the islets here are not for living due to the lack of fresh
water, but are excellent for cruising to contemplate their miraculous draws on
the horizon. Many of them have great names from their inspirational shapes,
including the Surprising cave, Pelican Grotto, Chopstick rock, Butterfly rock,
Turtle rock, the island of Fishman’s Head, the Fighting Cocks, the Sail, the
Urn, or the Sea Dog! We can wander to visit grottos, so swimming, or just
