Halong Bay: Fishing Village

\









There are 7 of these fishing villages in Halong Bay.
It would be a very difficult life, our there on the water. 

Halong Bay: Jasmine







It's a commitment to make it to Halong Bay and spend the night on a Junk. It was a 3 hour drive from Hanoi.
It is a well oiled tourist machine but it was really cool to be on the boat and just take the landscape in. 
We stopped at a cave and at a local fishing village. Had a great meal and were asleep early. Must have been all that fresh, salt air. It was a great birthday. 

Hanoi: Tet













Just got back from a week with my parents in Vietnam. They came to visit and was really nice to have them here. 
We started in Hanoi, where New Years preparations were under way! The flower markets were amazing and everyone buys a plum blossom, or a kumquat tree for their home. Watching all the motorbikes zip by with these trees was hilariously alarming.
