Ha Long Bay

We took a break from the city and escaped to Ha Long Bay. Spending the night on a junk boat meant waking up surrounded by the beauty of the bay.

 Best decision ever. 

We also soaked in the peacefulness of this small fishing town. 

 Watched villagers at work. 

 Watched as children waited for their ride home from school.

And watched the sun set from a cozy little cafe. 

I remember one of my Vietnamese friends telling me that he hasn't even been to Ha Long Bay. Thuyen, if you're reading, this post is for you. Go out and explore your own country a little more, will you? :)
