Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay is located on the Gulf of Tonkan and features over 1600 islands formed out of limestone. We spent two nights traveling through the bay. The whole time we were there the bay was filled with a thick fog creating a mysterious setting. At night the crew would shine a strong light over the water - attracting schools of large squids and catch them with a net. On this little trip I ate every size and shape of squid imaginable and I came to the realization that unless they're fried their taste is bland and akin to munching on soft rubber.

Strange limestone formations


Some sea kayaking fun - the tour guide went hoarse from yelling at us to stay with the group - one of the few times where it was a blessing to not understand Vietnamese and feign innocence.
