One day of the famous Hạ Long Bay

Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a unique piece of sculpting by mother nature. Ha Long stands for descending dragon.
We got to spend roughly 24 hrs on a boat here. The sights are just amazing! And although a bit touristy, the worst part was that we had cloudy and rainy weather in combination with low temperatures. Well, we can't complain as the weather has been fantastic so far.


We are now back on our way to Hanoi for a street food tour and later on catching a night train.

We also discovered the happy bar, although happy might be a bit exaggerated. In the morning we continue our way on the Mekong direction Luang Prabang.

Klong riverboat tour and Wat Po visit

As we have noticed, it's better to do stuff in the morning in Bangkok. In the afteroon it just becomes too much. At that point waiting lines grow exponentially, whether it being for going for lunch or visiting one of the many amazing sites in Bangkok. So 8AM we hit the road, starting a tour by boat on the Klongs (canals). An amazing trip along the many (mainly wooden) houses built into the canals. You also come across a huge Buddha statue and get a view of the Wat Arun temple complex. Next up was the Royal temple of Wat Po. Wat Po is the home to +1000 Buddha statues/images, from small to large ones, including a massive 46m long reclining Buddha.
