Vietnam #11 Tam Coc

Like everyone else I knew about Ha Long Bay before going to Vietnam, but not Tam Coc, some 100 odd km south of Hanoi. Like Ha Long Bay, the beautiful scenery was carved out of the Karst limestone country. While Kay and Sue were busy shopping in Hanoi, Dave and I made the journey to Tam Coc and enjoyed the hour and half boat cruise along the Ngo Dong river, paddled by a local village boatwoman, meandering along the steep limestone cliffs, along rice fields and through grottoes.
