When we were in Hanoi we found a place were we could take a cruise. We had a long bus ride out to the bay. It was beautiful. It had beautiful green cliffs shooting out of the bay. After I was done admiring the cliffs I looked down and saw the water a polluted. It made me sad.
Our cruise was for two days and one night. The boat we were on was called a junk. On the first day, we kayaked and we hiked up one of the cliffs. The second day we went to a bat cave, and the beach.
Kayaking was so much fun. We went in pairs of two. Since we had five people in our family, I had to go with our guide. When we were kayaking out we saw a huge jellyfish. After I saw it I got freaked out that I was going to fall out and get stung. We went through a tunnel in the cliff and we were in a quiet cove. Tall green cliffs on all side. It was so quiet you could hear the slaps of the paddles on the water and the buzzing sound of bugs. It was so cool.
At the cliff we hiked. The hike was long. There were about 500 steps, but the view at the top was amazing. You could see the bay sparkling and the cliffs looked like little patches of green.
The bat cave was cool, both ways. There were different colored lights shinning on the cave walls. I think that they were pretty cool without the lights. I can't really remember anything more about it because I was to busy loving the bay.
Since we live in Hawaii, we just skipped the beach part. We just relaxed in the air-conditioning on the Junk.
The cruise was really fun. Even though the bay was polluted it was still really beautiful.
