ca bat island - halong bay, vietnam

April 5th, 2010: Easter

after spending one night on ha long bay aboard the aloha junk, we arrived on cat ba island. it is the biggest island in ha long bay. while we were they we hiked up a hill? mountain?... either way it took us 45 minutes up and i felt like a mountain goat! plus it was raining and very slick. we also saw the hidden hospital built in a cave used in the vietnam war. it was refuge to the upper military leaders and a fully functioning hospital.



can't go on holiday without sampling the local beer, actually pretty good!


welcome drinks, artificial coloring much?


the hotel was awesome!
