AH had booked on line a Halong Bay & Cat Ba Island package before we left Singapore, it save us from the hassle of asking around about the transportation and accommodation. The guide and the driver picked us up at 8am at Golden Sun Hotel, four of us were the only passengers in this tour group.
The first boat from the right was our "chartered" boat
On the way from Hanoi to Halong City we stopped at a handicraft shop for an hour, we reached Halong wharf at around 12 noon and transferred to a boat for the bay tour. Also, we were the only four guests on the boat.
We were the "VIP"
Lunch with fresh seafood was served not long after our boarding. The boat trip was about five hours, in between we spent about an hour to visit the “Cave of Surpirses”, the rest of the times we were sitting on the deck, AH did her bird viewing most of the time, BL and I enjoyed in taking photographs, HM, er ….. I think she spent most of the time in day dreaming.

We reached Cat Ba wharf at around 5pm, checked-in Holiday View Hotel at Cat Ba city after 45 mins drive. We took a stroll in the town after dinner. The town was quite quiet, maybe it would be bustling on weekend.
