Day 58 Halong Bay & Flight to Ho Chi Minh City


We had breakfast at 7:30am while cruising to the 'Suprising Cave' which we toured and it was suprisingly big with a couple of 'looks like' items pointed out formed by the stalictites, the monkey, the 'finger', the couple kissing and the turtle.
Back on board it was time to start the 3hour cruise back to the dock but not before rafting up with another boat the same size to tow home since its engine was broken. We were served lunch before disembarking.
On the bus back to Hanoi we saw a car run straight into a bike, the first accident we'd seen on our trip although we've definately past 10's of minor minor crashes soon after the event. Fortunately the bike rider seemed to get up after the car threw him into the air and then landing on the road but we saw little more than that since our bus driver just kept going. A bit weird since it was our bus that prevented the bike from crossing the road completely and nothing was said following.
The bus trip there & back had a pitstop half way where it was compulsary to exit the bus walk through the shop and collect the bus again on the other side after 25mins.
Back in Hanoi we had just enough time to grab some dinner before our taxi took us to the airport for a nice flight in a new plane with Vietnam Airlines to Saigon, we even got drinks & snacks served on the 1hour 40min flight.
