Our last day in Vietnam!

We just returned from Halong Bay, had a great cruise. We stayed on the junk the first night (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_(ship)

where we kayaked to a cave and went spelunking.

We then sailed to Cat Ba island the next day and hiked in Cat Ba National Park up to an amazing overlook of the island. This island has very few Langur monkeys left, one of the most endangered primates in the world (no, we did not see one). Spent the night in the hotel and sailed back to the port the next day.

Tomorrow we fly to Laos; we will make our way to the northwest corner (on the border of Thailand) to go on a jungle experience. Here is the website, take a look! We are doing the Waterfall Trekking.
