We have had a wonderful time on our trip so far. Our 3 day trip to Ha Long Bay and its archipelago islands has been amazing and filled with swimming in warm waters, jumping off the back of the boat, kayaking, and great seafood. Margot especially loved floating in her PFD in the warm sea water and even being dropped into the water from the back of the boat. Hazel loved collecting gorgeous seashells on deserted beaches on islands that were maybe 200′ in diameter. We’ve also discovered that Margot loves loves loves baby clams and cries when there is no more. Sauna like temperatures and humidity but otherwise heaven on earth.
