After a 3 hour bus ride from Hanoi to Halong Bay we embark the vessel 'Hai Au' of Alova Gold cruises fro the Bai Chay tourist wharf.
A small tender is taking us to the vessel at anchor and after we are assigened a cabin and given instructions about life onboard the vessel we sail out and are served a very nice lunch.
I am very exited as this is one of the highlights of my trip and indeed after 2 days and 2 nights in Halong Bay I am not disappointed. I will come back here again one day. Also because in the early hours of the first evening the canoo I was sailing went upside down and as it turned out the watertight bag was not watertight and my camera and iphone were drowned. So I need to come back at least to take my own pictures. The pictures since that moment were either taken with my Samsung phone or I got from my fellow travelers.
