HaLong bay and caves

We woke to an extremely foggy day aboard the Paloma. We participated in early morning Tai Chi on the top deck, which was great to stretch us before breakfast and the cave walk.
The boys had a sleep in then joined us for breaky, then we took the tender to the cave area. After a bit of a climb we toured 3 caves, called surprise cave. The largest one was massive, over 10,000 sq metres. After the caves it was back to the Paloma for an early lunch before check out and the 4 hour journey back to Hanoi. The trip was again an eye opener with near misses a regular occurance throughout the journey. Back in hanoi we had dinner at a lovely place on the lake called little kitchen, which serves western & Asian food. Throughout the trip so far I've endeavored to eat the local fare - no western food for main meals except breakfast. All the food has been delicious and plenty of it wherever we go.
