Ha Long Bay: Can You Spell M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-E-N-T???

Seriously. Just now back from 2 glorious days sailing amid THE most incredible setting on the Planet:  The one, the only, the magnificent Ha Long Bay.  Seriously.  It’s more magical than I could ever imagine.  A dream setting.Just a few moments here in the boat terminal in Ha Long City, waiting for the bus back to Hanoi.  Tonight I’m bound for a train to Sapa.

Many, many, MANY pics – later.

I actually managed to find a geocache – indeed, was (incredibly) FTF (First To Find) called “Ti Top” (geochums, look it up…)

More hopefully later today from Hanoi, while I wait for the night train to Sapa.

Later this evening – from Hanoi – let’s try adding some PICS!

I was supposed to have that as a FTF!!!! I was so close too! Awesome to have met you in Sapa. What a small world! Happy caching in Vietnam. Put some out in HCMC.

Have you learned to say “First To Find” in Vietnamese yet? 🙂
