Halong bay, back to Hanoi

Last night we had a fabulous sunset viewed from our boat moored in Halong Bay. This morning started early with Thai Chi on the top deck at 7am, follwed by a trip accross to an island and a treck up to the top of the hill affording panormaic views of the bay. After a swim in the sea to cool off we were given a hearty breakfast prior to our departure.

Following a four hour drive back to Hanoi, involving a stop at a local market, we are now in the airport waiting for our flight down to Hue (pronounced Hwey).
