The reason why this blog is created is because Multiply.com is shutting down & all posts will be removed. Some posts here are back-dated from Aug 2004 - Aug 2012! I'm just doing a screen-shot & re-posting slowly cos it ain't easy to import every single photo. Therefore, only thumbnails are available for viewing, which also explains the white background & the little note at the end.

Halong Bay - Hanoi, Vietnam

Halong Bay - Hanoi (07 - 08 Aug 12)

Activities on day 2 at Halong Bay includes a trip to Ti Top Island for some sight-seeing & swimming after breakfast. It was still raining, but it didn't dampen Evelyn's mood to swim! It definitely dampens my mood cos I can't collect any sun!

Lunch was provided at a restaurant in Halong City before we head back to Hanoi.

Walk around Hanoi & we went squatting at roadside for dinner. We also went to one of the recommended coffee place for coffee before heading to rain station for the overnight train to Sapa

First class overnight train to Sapa with Tulico Tourist. USD70 for 2-way & we were lucky to share the cabin with a french couple, so not much issue

Breakfast served on board

Someone obviously loves swimming in the rain

Lunch before heading back to Hanoi




Our friendly tour guide





So we went back to hotel, freshen up & out to the street



Eat like the locals. Oh my, we look like giant on that tiny stool





Very yummy braise pork rice


Then we went for some local coffee





I had chocolate instead & oh, they have very good chocolates







Train station, taking over night train to Sapa







I took the upper bed cos someone is scared of motion sickness. 

Ok, good night Hanoi. Sapa, see you in 8 hrs time!
