We arrived at Halong Bay at 12pm just in time to have lunch while we cruised around the many rock formations. It’s spectacular and there are so many things to look at. We spent the afternoon exploring, eating, swimming and canoeing. Then spent the evening just hanging out on the deck.  
Our boat is a little bit fancy, so fancy that at dinner the chefs had carved flowers out of vegetables. Now I was always told to eat all my veges and its rude to leave them – so I ate all of them. Not 10 minutes later Tan asked where my carrot flower was, “I ate it” I replied. “Oh no”, he says “they are only for decoration and have been soaking in bad water for hours”.  WTF – really, why would you put something edible on my plate that’s not edible!!!!! I’m not use to fancy shit, I’m still wearing man shoes with socks and some family back in Nha Trang are using my nickers for blankets!!!!!!!
The infamous vegetable flowers.....
