Greetings to all of u. Hmm, I guess I am just gonna post a short post. A really short post.
Hmm, it has been a week from the start of an enjoying trip to an incredible city named Hanoi. I didn't regret choosing this destination as my 2011 family overseas trip. Initially we wanted Hatyai. However, air tickets to Hanoi is kinda low. Hence we chose to go Hanoi instead of Hatyai.
I try to sum up each day by stating the mains gateaways and things to reflect on. Alright lets start with Day 1 and Day 2 for this post.
We touch down at about 2pm in Hanoi. Dad was complaining the cramp bus that fetches us to our hotel. We were all so tired and desperately in need of our hotel. Not too long after(ie 50mins bus ride), we have reached our hotel. It was good. I mean confortable and warmth feeling. No regret choosing this hotel, really. Good service provided by the receptionist. AFter a good bath, went to search for FOOD. After food, Water Puppet show at 6.30pm. It was spectacular. Never will we get to see such cute puppets acting in the water. Although I don't understand anything from it, its something that I think its worth watching as I know I may not get to see it again. And went back hotel after that to rest for day 2.
Day 2, an all anticipated day tour to Halong Bay is finally here. The journey was arduous as i took us 3.5 hours to travel on a Van bus to Halong Bay. It was really long and the bumpy road makes us even more uncomfortable and intolerable. However, the breath-taking scene there outweighs more than proportionately. I was amazed by the beauty of nature. I am speechless and at the same time elated to see such beautiful tower karst. Geography student like me see many pictures on lecture books. But this time, I see it REAL!!! It was purely relaxing and NICE! It was nice sitting on rowing boat, looking at the natural landscape of Halong Bay, which deemed as one of the most spectacular MUST-GO place in Asia. Back home at 8pm plus and we were all deadbeat. But its ALL WORTH IT!! 5star!!! (tour at only 39USD)! Where to find? Haha
Basically that sums up day 1 and 2. I need to sleep now. Update real SOON!! Night!
