And Day 3.
After eating lunch on the boat we had our second opportunity to kayak. This time it was just us and the guide. We (mostly Mike) paddled out to a nice private beach. If only the weather was warmer! It would have been a nice place to for swimming and sun bathing.
Haha, Mike’s face.
In the late afternoon we reached Cat Ba Island, our home for the evening. We checked into our hotel (which we later noticed had a funny name) and had the rest of the evening free.
Mike had been eager to rent a motorbike on this trip and we finally had the chance. We found a man nearby our hotel and set off on the bike. We cruised around the main streets and a bit outside the city until darkness and chilly weather forced us to stop.
The next day, (Day 3), we ate breakfast at the hotel and noticed something funny at the bar. Apparently, this concoction of lizards, testicles, and various other disgusting things is consumed by elderly men to improve their virility. Good luck.
At this point we boarded the boat, cruised back to the mainland, and hopped in the van headed toward Hanoi.
xo, jill
