Halong Bay

The description of our accomodation as a 'junk boat' left our expectations somewhat low, especially after having stayed in the equivalent of a London bedsit described as a hotel. BUT, the boat was to our delight a floating hotel...the good kind.

Unfortunately for me and Tim the 9 course menu was seafood...the bad kind.

We opted for the non-seafood option hence meat? We learnt Tofu is the worst food to ever be created when eaten 9 times over.

 As beautiful and clear as the sea was I could not be conviced of the absence of sharks! We went kayaking but I suppose Tim may have found it more enjoyable if I wasn't weeping everytime the boat swayed...

  We look very happy here... believe me this is not how this very same day began. ACCIDENTALLY I left the purse on a coach we travelled on..containing our cash, the cash card and the debit cards we need. Basically it was resolved and retrieved with all its contents. Shamed (by Tim) I no longer hold a position of any responsiblity over our valuables for I am untrustworthy... We will see.
