Best of South East Asia: #3 – Halong Bay, Vietnam

Coming in at number 3 for my summer recap is our cruise along Halong Bay, Vietnam.

I barely need any words to explain why this is so high on my list.

I mean.. just look at this place.

We took this three day, two night cruise. It wasn’t the cheapest cruise we came across but we decided to ‘splurge’ on this part of our trip. We didn’t mind.

Halong Bay is made up of nearly 2,000 islands. It makes for stunning views regardless of where you are.

We ate SO much on our cruise. This was lunch one day. FOR THE TWO OF US. img_1772

Big surprise– I took a time lapse! This may be my favorite one I’ve ever taken.

The views were beyond gorgeous.  We luckily had beautiful weather (not always the case during rainy season!) and we even made some friends which we met up with at our next stop. (Hi Alex and Rohan!)

So.. is Halong Bay now added to your list of ‘must visit’ places now?
