The next part of our trip we went and visited Halong Bay, Vietnam (it is about 3 hours outside of south of Hanoi). We went and stayed overnight on a junk boat. Halong Bay was AMAZING!!! It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever been (that is probably why there are TONS of pictures). We had a blast--the boat was so nice and had the best food, we got massages and pedicures, and had tons of fun. They took us on two little side trips. The first one was to a floating village. It was so interesting to see people living out in the middle of the water. I was surprised at how many modern things they had. We saw a couple of floating houses with satellite t.v. They have a school there, etc. The village makes a ton of money off of tourism and the village is considered wealthy. The other place we went was to this giant cave--there also use to be tribes that lived in the caves. It was pretty amazing. Overall, this was one of the best parts of our trip!!
