31 Dec - Ha Long Bay to Hanoi
Body clock still thought it was yesterday hence waking up at 5am though the cold draft may had something to do with it. Sorry to say that Kerry's illness has come back. Before returning back to port we had a tour around the Ha Long bay caves, a pleasant surprise as they were a lot bigger than expected. Lots of strange shaped rocks with different names. Shame we got stuck behind a French dude with bad B.O. ala Pepe Le Poo. The coach drive back to Hanoi had many eye-opening views. I saw a shop called 'Tit' - I think it was a women's clothes shop; two mopeds delivering a full sized fridge-freezer and a 40" LCD TV; saw what could have been a really nasty, freak accident as a cement truck had a flat on the opposite direction and the driver with mate let the spare wheel bounce a couple of times right in front of some heavy traffic; finally, I swear I saw a family of 4 on a moped with the mother at the back breastfeeding. Lunch was quite expensive at the roadside world
