Today we went on a junk boat on a tour of Ha Long Bay (descending dragon bay). It's a UNESCO site, and is made up of nearly 2000 islands. The legend is that a dragon descended into the bay, and made all the islands to protect the people, and they actually did lend a hand in several military defeats of invading armies.
I think the best way to describe it is to say that it's kind of like our
own San Juan Islands, except they are smaller, steeper, and covered in tropical plants. We went to a beautiful cave and then went kayaking in the bay. I can see why so many people have recommended rock climbing here, maybe during our next trip! We also saw a spider as pig as the palm of my hand...yuck!
