Ha Long Bay

We spent a couple nights out on a section of Ha Long Bay called Lan Ha Bay.  It was overcast and rather dreary. But the light did enhance the rather mystical beauty of the hundreds of karst jutting out of the water.  We had fun with our friends Mark and Luci. The best part was kayaking and for just that one afternoon the sun obliged us. 

I enjoyed the industrious women who rowed their “mini marts” out to our boat after we dropped anchor. We’d bargain with them for beer and peanuts. They were fun to haggle with.
