Ha Long Bay I

On day #2 we took a 4 hour ride to Ha Long bay.

Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest. The Bay is a World Heritage Site and, like many attractions in Asia claims to be “the Eighth Wonder of the World.”

We boarded our boat, the Lagoon Explorer.
