Ha Long Bay: A night on a junk boat visiting one of the seven natural wonders of the world

Monday December 10 - Tuesday 11

As one of the seven natural wonders of the world, a trip to Ha Long Bay is a must for any tourist in Vietnam.

The idyllic coastline in the north-east of the country has 1,969 separate islands made out of limestone which formed over 500 million years.

We spent a night in a junk boat as we explored the islands. During our visit we also went kayaking and went inside the largest cave - named with no hint of modesty 'Amazing Cave'. The cave was merely not bad.

Freezing: I swim in the water. Although the air temperature was around 22C it was very cold when I got in
