cruise in Ha Long bay

Amazing time with emotion cruise in Ha Long bay
We, the two girls have done a 2-day/ 1-night Ha Long bay trip with Darian Culbert, and it is amazing experience. There were only 18 of us on a big luxurious boat – Emotion Cruise. Its outside color and decorations looks new and striking. When we came inside the cruise, we were warmly welcomed by friendly waiters and waitresses. I recognized many pictures along the passage. They look old, traditional and interesting.
Our lunch was a set menu with 9 dishes for everyone. Foods were good and nice decorated. I really enjoyed the buffet dinner. There was a variety of food and fruits. The foods were delicious and abundant. In the afternoon of the first day, we visit surprising cave. The stalactite shaped interesting animals and human beings. Then we headed for kayaking. The young boys from Italy, they were so interested in kayaking. They were eager and energetic to row the kayaks to far distance. For two of us, we are so scared of water, so we didn’t do kayaking. But we saw the others did it. Some didn’t know how to paddle kayaks, they looked very funny.
The evening was a very nice time for us relaxing on sundecks. Wind blew strongly at night, so I felt the sense of flying to the stars. The weather was not good the 1st day. It was cloudy all the time and we couldn’t hunt impressive pictures. However, the sun shone early morning the second day. We were crazily happy about it. The bay was lightened up and everything seemed amazing: high consecutive big rock mountains, green water and white blue sky. We took lots of wonderful pictures of the bay. So enjoyable!
I also love Tai chi practice early morning. If I didn’t do it, I would stay long in bed as my usual Sundays and miss the breathtaking fresh air of the bay. After a slight breakfast with bread and coffee, we joined spring roll cooking lesson. This was the second time my friend tasted the dish and she truly loved it. It was great she could make it herself. For me, I seem to taste the flavor of the heaven. It is so special, so delicious when relaxing on sundecks and having them. The sense of relaxation! The sense of enjoyment! Great! Amazed!
 
Next, departing from convenient sundecks, we continued an interesting journey to Ba Hang fishing village. We got in small boats going through Luon cave. The cave is actually two wide low holes between water and limestone. The farther we went, the cooler it was. I loved it really cool. Here I took very meaningful pictures of a 73 years old man rowing a boat of six young guys. He looked industrious and enthusiastic.
The whole tour on the cruise, we were guided by a humorous energetic man – Mr Hung. He told us about the village in very details. So, I had a deep look of people living here. They were highly admirable. I saw many middle- aged women who paddled the goods boat to sell to tourists in the bay. They looked simple and smiled friendly.
Coming back from the village, we enjoyed a buffet brunch. Again, I loved the food so much. I was impressed by the deep care and great hospitality of the cruise staff, who always asked us those questions: “how did you sleep, how the food is, do you enjoy it, how is the bay” and so on… with sparkling bright smiles.
I also loved making friends with people from Vietnam, Europe, America and Malaysia on the cruise. Chatting with them several times was great. Thanks to the tour including Vietnam visa service, I have some more friends. I hope to talk with them more when we come back. All in all, the tour is the most memorable that I have had. I understand more about Vietnamese people and like them a lot. They are simple friendly and working very hard.
