Halong Bay

Wow, what a place. Even in the rain and mist, it is a wondrous place. Halong Bay is a UNESCO world heritage site. The bay features almost 2000 limestone monolithic islands. As the sea erodes away the limestone the islands eventually tumble into the ocean. Many of these islands support floating villages. The fishermen and their families live on small floating houses. The children attend school on a small floating building. 

We boarded our boat and proceeded to check it out. It was a beautiful Junk boat. They served  us lunch, dinner, and brunch the next day. We took shore excursions to a few of the islands. It was truly an awe inspiring trip.
