Some random photos

Some more random photo from Ha Long Bay. One is of the moon and the one with all the boats is a floating village.

Ha Long Bay

There are over 1000 of these huge rocks that pop out of the sea in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. My dad and I took a three day two night boat out on the sea to check them out. Sleeping in a boat in the middle of these were one of the highlights of my trip so far!!

from the inside

We went into a couple of caves inside one of these giant rocks. The formations from the inside out were pretty neat....also being inside some cave in the middle of the sea was something that doesn't happen very often!!!

our boat

We spent the night out on this boat in Ha Long Bay off the coast of Vietnam....here is our room and boat. We spent in the middle of all this huge rocks coming out of the sea.

My dad...

My dad jumping for the top o

f our boat which is about a 30 foot drop into the sea. The first time he did the was before we were supposed to go swimming... and the captain of the boat started yelling...

Waterfalls

I could have put 20 pictures of these waterfalls....but I didn't want to you to get too bored. There is this hike up to these wonderful waterfalls with probably 40 different pools you can swim in. The water is an amazing clear blue-green color and very refreshing to dive into after the hike up there!!!!
