View from Military Hospital cave
Inside Military Hospital . This was built during war by Chinnese army for Viet Nam. Very cool in there, like having and air con on.
Inside the cave, there's a hospital with 17 rooms: Staffs room, operation room, ER....Looks like a dungeon.
The guy in charge of taking us for a tour inside the cave
See, like a dungeon.
Inside the cave, if you could see it.
I played with the tools and dont know how to switch it back, but anyway, this the only way you could see things inside or else just pitch black.
The stair to third floor- conference room.
Dont know what the heck this is.
The other side of the cave, the guy is closing the door. Waiting for other tourists to come.
On the way down.
Beautiful green. Cave is somewhere in there.
Grape
Believe it or not, I once dreamt about this lake, without water.
dont know what this is.
The fruit from it, dont think we could eat though.
This one is as long as ...at least 50cm, really really big. I wanted to ask Tieng to go down there and hold it for comparision but then worried that people might think he wanted to steal it....
some flower on the roof of a house.
On the way looking for the restaurant the manager of the resort introduced to us.
riding along the seashore
strange position beach.
Goats!
Goat's scratching! haha....
Another goat.
See the stairs along the cliff? People walk along the cliff on it.
Famous flower over there. Not a good photo though
Nice.
That's the Sunrise Resort.
So nice, it looks unreal
This one too, so unreal
Beautiful.
See the other side, that was Ocean Resort, the place we stayed. Taken from Cat Ba island
An English couple took this picture for us. I took a nice picture for them and they did this in return. Bad job though, they should have taken the scence, that was what I want.
See the building on the moutain? It was somebody's tomb. Nice pick.
I dont know what this is for, Tieng asked me to take a picture of the cliff. Anything interesting there?
That bloody dog barked us like hell. I was just trying to be nice and whistled to him....
At our dinner
The bar in the lounge
Shell
I got drunk after 2 and a half bottle of wine the we drank.
Huge dog. His head is bigger than mine! Very friendly during the day though.
Tieng tried his luck.
Huge!
Huge dog.
Cute.
Kayak. We tried it and it didn't really go the way we wanted to, so we gave up just after 20 mins.
The famous lounge. Leaving the island for HaLong Bay
Ocean Resort, the place we stayed for 3 days.
The boat we rent. It could take 20 people and we rent it for ourselves. It was good though that we felt very comfortable there. Sat on the front and enjoyed the scence. The lady was nice, Tieng praised that this old couple were nice to then realized it wasn't true. They charged us for the gas they used to cook for us for 150,000vnd!!!! and charged us 30,000vnd for a can of beer!!!!!! (Nearly $10 and $2)
Sunrise Resort, view from the sea.
Rain
Feet comparision
The lonely rock
Rubbish, wonder where are they going to end up....
Tieng, being a model
Showing off his tummy.
King of the... cave!
Call from heaven
Being a model again. That's my husband!
Tieng definitely is not a good photogapher.
Look down the cave.
On the way out, to the boat.
Rain again!
They said this is a hen and a cock!
Gateway to freedom.
See the scene behind us? That's the famous Tuan Chau island, which we just wanna leave straight away after we get in.
On the way back to HaiPhong from Tuan Chau.
Uncle Ho pointed at this part of the forest, make them so lucky that noone dare to cut them down. He should have pointed more....
