halong bay ~ unesco heritage ~ northern vietnam

ha long bay as it should be i.e. a picture from a local postcard ...

ha long bay / halong bay, the unesco world cultural heritage site, is our next stop at the vietnam round trip. anyway, i feel like in the sightseeing areas in the eastern europe 2 decades ago, everything is a little bit worn out :-)

of course, i'm looking forward to the boat trip to the beautiful rocks in the bay tomorrow => it was nice, but despite the bad weather and a coal shipping harbor near there i missed the possibility to swim. thus my dears, i liked the similar anthong marine national park in thailand much better ...

more pictures? here we go to my google photo album

angthong national marine park, thailand

what a day in angthong national marine park in gulf of thailand, close to the koh samui island on our next to the last day in thailand ... a day full of kayaking, swimming, trekking, eating, drinking, ship riding (folks, this is for us middle europeans a great issue because we don't have any sea at home, you know?), sleeping in the ship on the way back, only the snorkeling was bad due to (seasonal) unclear water  ... but who cares? we have had the best snorkeling in our lives few weeks ago on the tioman island, malaysia ...

as always: enjoy few more PICTURES :-)
