Comprised of limestone cliffs jutting out from the water, Ha Long Bay is a picturesque wonder. Although the weather was unfavourable during our visit (a little foggy and rainy), our little junk wandered the harbour along with many other tourist vessels, allowing us to take in the natural beauty of this landscape. We docked on one cliff and toured a massive cave that was discovered by a fisherman in 1993. We kayaked in the surprisingly warm waters and enjoyed a night sleeping in our own little cabin on the boat. To pass the time, our local tour guide blarred karaoke music for several hours, hoping that the tourists would join in. Karoake singing is a very popular pasttime in Asia and a fascinating spectacle to watch as they take it quite seriously. Fortunately, the music died down on time for us to enjoy our slumber.
