After the cave experience, we had one of the standard 9 course lunches. Nine is considered a lucky number in this predominantly Buddist country. We have had lots of different kinds of fish and the food is generally good and sometimes very good.

Day 12
This morning we took a dragon boat ride through the famous Halong Bay which has a couple thousands islands. Unfortunately the weather was foggy and polluted from the coal industry in this province. Our trip highlight was a climb up to a very large cave on one of the islands. The cave was lighted by colored lights and looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland The cooler temperatures in the north made for a pleasant hike.
