Next stop after Ha Long was Cat Ba island. The town itself didn’t have a huge amount to offer (other than cafes, flip-flop shops and the usual market) so we opted for a moped tour, taking in some caves that were used as a hospital in the Vietnam war, a mountain climb in the national park and then lunch at a fishing village. The moped and driver were supplied, so we only had to hang on and enjoy the ride - or go hands free and take photos of each other when overtaking…the latter was more fun! The climb proved quite challenging too…UK Health and Safety officials would have shut it down immediately! Some pictures will be in a Cat Ba Album.
Mike and Mike travelled through Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, China, Australia and New Zealand for 3 months from mid September until Christmas 2009.
