There was a glitch in the transfer at Hanoi. When we arrived at 5am in the morning, there was no one at the travel office to receive us. After some frantic calls by the bus driver, we were driven to another office where a young night watcher was woken to let us in, have a rest and use the shop's facilities. We had the rare experience of watching Hanoi waking up.
Hanoi had to wait. A bus eventually turned up to us for the 3 hour drive to the world heritage listed Ha Long Bay.
After some confusion over the pier to board our Indochina Sails vessel, we finally got on board.
We spent the rest of the day cruising around the bay of spectacular karst landscape. We stopped to climb the Titop Hill on one of the islands and visited a floating village. Others went swimming and kayaking.
